- Title
Nicholas (Nick) G. Martin and the Extended Twin Model.
- Authors
Maes, Hermine H.; Evans, David; Medland, Sarah; Gillespie, Nathan
- Abstract
The extended twin model is a unique design in the genetic epidemiology toolbox that allows to simultaneously estimate multiple causes of variation such as genetic and cultural transmission, genotype-environment covariance and assortative mating, among others. Nick Martin has played a key role in the conception of the model, the collection of substantially large data sets to test the model, the application of the model to a range of phenotypes, the publication of the results including cross-cultural comparisons, the evaluation of bias and power of the design and the further elaborations of the model, such as the children-of-twins design.
