Preface The recent advances in genetics, especially in the molecular techniques that have over the last quarter of a century spectacularly reduced the cost of determining genetic markers, open up a field of research that is becoming of increasing help in detecting, preventing, and/or curing many diseases that afflict us. This has brought with it the need for novel methods of statistical analysis and the implementation of these methods in a wide variety of computer programs. The aim in this book is to make these methods and programs more easily accessible to the beginner who has data to analyze, whether a student or a senior investigator. Twenty-eight of the thirty original chapters have been retained (all updated) and, in view of changes in the field, three new chapters have been added. Apart from the first chapter,
