| Abstract: | New ascertainment models taking into account partitioning by sex and without any constraint concerning dominance of alleles are proposed. These originate beginning from two major pathways. The first pathway assumes independence and that the family sizes for both males and females are known. The second pathway assumes dependence and that only the total family size is known. Ascertainment probabilities based on several different types of dependence are found. Results are obtained for incomplete multiple ascertainment. |
