Expectations and parameter estimates
Transformed means
 MZ Co-twin mean (CMZ) h2g + c2g(t) = .9190
 DZ Co-twin mean (CDZ) ½h2g + c2g(t) = .5856
 Co-sib mean (CS) ½ h2g + c2g(s) = .5039
h2g = 2(CMZ−CDZ) = 2(.9190 − .5856) = .6668
Differential c2g
c2g(MZ) (CMZ− h2g) = (.9190 − .6668) = .2522
c2g(DZ) (CDZ − ½ h2g) = (.5856 − .3334) = .2522
c2g(s) (CS − ½ h2g) = (.5039 − .3334) = .1705
B3 c2g (t)c2g (s) = (.2522 − .1705) = .0817
