title: Review of inference procedures for the interclass correlation coefficient with emphasis on applications to family studies.
abstract: Recent theory and methodology for inferences concerning the interclass correlation coefficient are reviewed, focusing on the case of a single individual in one class and a variable number of individuals in the other. Topics discussed include point and interval estimation, as well as significance-testing, with emphasis on application to data arising from family studies.
