THE SAMPLING VARIANCE OF HERITABILITY OF AN INDEX
C.Y. Lin

Paper Summary

The article presents a method to calculate the sampling variance of heritability for an index using regression. By reducing the number of traits in the index to one, the formula matches previous estimations for single trait heritability. An example is provided to show how to compute this variance.
