a

ρq is correlation due to QTL effects.

b

Likelihood-ratio statistic Λ.

c

Likelihood for a model in which ρq is estimated, compared with that of another model in which ρq is constrained to 1 (or −1) (i.e., complete pleiotropy). Λ is distributed as a ½χ21:½χ20 mixture.

d

Likelihood of a model in which ρq is estimated, compared with another model in which ρq is constrained to 0 (i.e., coincident linkage). Λ is distributed as a χ2 with df 1.
