Abstract:
Non‐parametric estimation of functional relationships is an important part of data analysis, particularly in the exploratory stages. This paper considers non‐parametric estimation of the mean functions in family studies using weighted robust estimating equations while retaining a fully parametric model for the covariance structure. The proposed procedure allows an exploratory examination of complex pedigree data that is an invaluable aid in determining appropriate models. This is illustrated by an examination of the relationship between IQ and the level of a particular protein in individuals collected as part of a large family study.
