Re: constraining correlation = 1

Dear Lutz,

In the first analysis, it is the Trait.hh term which generates a
correlation > 1
so the XFA should be applied to that term rather than the genetic term
which
only had a correlation of .31

i.e.

Fit
XFA model

hkwPre hkwPst ~ Trait !r xfa(Trait,1).hh Trait.id
1 2 2

0
Trait 0 US 0.54 !GUFU
0.0 0.19

xfa(Trait,1).hh 2
xfa(Trait,1) 0 XFA1
0 0 0.28 0.14
hh

Trait.id 2
Trait 0 US
.11 .024 .055
id 0 AINV

Further more, the .pin file mechanism has not been extended to handle XFA
terms,
so it will be necessary to do the sums by hand (foregoing an estimate of
the SE).

I presume you have fixed the error covariance at zero because there are no
instances
where both hkwPre and hkwPst are obtained on the same subject(unit).

Grace, mercy and peace to you from God our Saviour Jesus Christ
