Understanding the potential bias of variance components estimators when using genomic models

Abstract Background Genomic models that link phenotypes to dense genotype information are increasingly being used for infering variance parameters in genetics studies. The variance parameters of these models can be inferred using restricted maximum likelihood, which produces consistent, asymptotical...
