Parameter Estimates for Prostate Cancer Linkage

Estimate (95% CI) for
Type of Analysis and ARP τ λ
Subsetsa:
 Full siblings 73.0 (63.3–82.7) 1.4 (1.1–2.0)
 First cousins:
  Solution 1 24.1 (9.8–38.5) 1.4 (.8–2.3)
  Solution 2 92.3 (77.2–107.3) 1.4 (.9–2.0)
 Avuncular pairs 58.1 (25.0–91.2) 1.3 (.6–3.4)
Model Cb:
 Full siblings 1.4 (1.1–2.0)
 First cousins 1.3 (.8–1.9)
 Avuncular pairs 1.2 (.8–2.1)
 Common τ 72.9 (64.1–81.7)
Model λc 72.7 (64.2–81.1) 1.4 (1.1–1.7)
a

Separate τ and C were fit for each different ARP subset.

b

A common τ with different C coefficients for the different ARP types.

c

The C coefficients were modeled as dependent on a single common λ, simultaneously with a single τ.
