Quantitative genetics consists of a highly developed theory and methodology which can be of considerable utility in many behavioral studies. This computer program was written to provide a convenient means of applying one of the methods of quantitative genetics to behavioral data; parameters are estimated, assumptions of the model are tested, and second order statistics are computed. Characteristics and limitations of the program are described.
