a Estimates are taken from a Gibbs sample of 9,000 values.

b Mendelian transmission parameter; the probability of transmitting an "A" allele. For Mendelian transmission these values are fixed as 1.0, .50 and 0.0 for putative major genotypes AA, AB and BB, respectively. Non-Mendelian transmission implies estimation of these values from the data.

c Effective sample size.

d Gibbs sample convergence statistic; Geweke (1992).

e Highest density region
