Methodological study demonstrates maximum likelihood estimation for parent-sibling correlation under circular covariance, highlighting improved parameter testing in genetic studies.
The maximum likelihood estimates of the parent-sib interclass correlation and other parameters are obtained, when the between sibs correlation matrix has a circular structure. The problem of testing hypotheses about interclass correlation is also considered.
