A multilevel linear mixed model of the association between candidate genes and weight and body mass index using the Framingham longitudinal family dataJian An Luan
Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit, Institute of Metabolic Science, Addenbrooke s Hospital, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 0QQ, UK
BMC Proc 3:S115. 2009..Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between the two FTO SNPs was strong (D' = 0.997, r2 = 0.875) but their haplotype was not significantly associated with either weight or BMI. The two SNPs near MC4R were in weak LD (D' = 0.487, r2 = 0.166)...

University of California, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Stat Med 28:3363-85. 2009..It is useful to augment such reporting with the GMM-estimated prevalences for the four classes of subjects and the Drug Only Responder drug effect estimate...
Should substance use disorders be considered as categorical or dimensional?Bengt Muthen
University of California, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Addiction 101:6-16. 2006..Conventional modeling using categorical or continuous latent variables in the form of latent class analysis and factor (IRT) analysis has limitations for the analysis of diagnostic criteria...
Advances in behavioral genetics modeling using Mplus: applications of factor mixture modeling to twin dataBengt Muthen
Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, University of California, Los Angeles, 90095, USA
Twin Res Hum Genet 9:313-24. 2006..The factor mixture approach appears to have great potential for the genetic analyses of heterogeneous populations. Generalizations for longitudinal data are also outlined...
Item response mixture modeling: application to tobacco dependence criteriaBengt Muthen
UCLA, United States
Addict Behav 31:1050-66. 2006..The hybrid models are typically seen to fit data better than conventional models of factor analysis (IRT) and latent class analysis. An illustration is given in the form of analysis of tobacco dependence in a general population survey...
