* Model indicates the variance components that were simulated followed by those included in the analysis model (F = familial and P = polygenic); Est is the average estimate across all replicates of that model; rMSE is the square root of the mean square error; ASC represents the analysis of an ascertained sample using ascertainment correction and RAND represents the analysis of a random sample without any such correction.
