DeFries-Fulker analysis of twin data with skewed distributions: cautions and recommendations from a study of children's use of verb inflections.

Abstract:: DeFries-Fulker (DF) analysis is an adaptation of multiple regression that is used to estimate heritability of extreme scores (h(g)2) on a dimension. Probands are identified as scoring below a cutoff that defines impairment, and one then uses regression to predict the scores of co-twins from the proband scores and a term that denotes the genetic relationship between twins (1.0 for MZ and 0.5 for DZ twins). This paper reports illustrative data and simulations for the situation where the dimensi...
