Statistical properties of simple random-effects models for genetic heritability

Random-effects models are a popular tool for analysing total narrow-sense heritability for quantitative phenotypes, on the basis of large-scale SNP data. Recently, there have been disputes over the validity of conclusions that may be drawn from such analysis. We derive some of the fundamental statis...
