Background
Recently, score statistics have been proposed for mapping
quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using sibship data or general
pedigree data [1-4]. These score statistics are straightforward
to compute. These works focus mainly on the development
of the methodology. In this report, we apply a
score statistic to sibship data derived from the randomly
selected Replicate 34 of the simulated data provided by
the Genetic Analysis Workshop 13 (GAW13).
