Improving accuracy and precision of heritability estimation in twin studies through hierarchical modeling: reassessing the measurement error assumption by Gang Chen, Dustin Moraczewski, Paul A. Taylor

“…Here, to demonstrate the appropriateness and advantages of our hierarchical linear modeling approach in heritability estimation, we utilize simulations as well as a real dataset from the ABCD (Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development) study. Moreover, we showcase the following analytical insights for data containing non-negligible measurement errors: i) The conventional SEM may underestimate heritability. ii) A hierarchical model provides a more accurate assessment of heritability. iii) Large samples, exceeding 100 observations or thousands of twins, may be necessary to reduce imprecision.Discussion: Our study highlights the impact of measurement error on heritability estimation and introduces a hierarchical model as a more accurate alternative. …”
