Input Files QTDT requires matched data and pedigree files as input. An optional IBD information file is recommended for variance component analyses.
Association Model As well as the model of Abecasis (2000), the models of Allison (1997, TDTQ5), Rabinowitz (1997), Monks (1998) and Fulker (2000) are also supported.
Variance Components Optionally, variance components can be used to describe the similarities between individuals in a pedigree.
