Using an iterative algorithm we derive explicit expressions for the Maximum Likelihood estimates of the additive and dominance effects. Finally we calculate the variance covariance matrix of our Maximum Likelihood estimates, which enables us to determine a confidence interval for the location of a quantitative trait locus.enUniversitätsbibliothek Dortmundconfidence intervals for genetic parametersEM and ECM-algorithmsmaximum likelihood estimationmolecular geneticsvariance-and covariance matrix of Maximum Likelihood estimates310report
