Dyadic Mixed Model for Pedigree Data

Mixed model analysis for quantitative genetics with multi-trait responses and pedigree-based partitioning of individual variation into a range of environmental and genetic variance components for individual and maternal effects. Method documented in dmmOverview.pdf; dmm is an implementation of dispersion mean model described by Searle et al. (1992) "Variance Components", Wiley, NY. Dmm() can do 'MINQUE', 'bias-corrected-ML', and 'REML' variance and covariance component estimates.
