The analysis of intraclass correlation in multiple samples.
A unified methodology is presented for the analysis of intraclass correlation in two or more samples, with emphasis on application to family studies. The methodology provides point and interval estimates of a common intraclass correlation in data having either fixed or variable class sizes. Tests of homogeneity for intraclass correlation coefficients are also discussed.
