Falconer's formula estimates narrow-sense heritability from monozygotic and dizygotic twin correlations:
It relies on equal relevant environments and a dizygotic additive-genetic correlation of one half.
Falconer's formula, often referred to in the context of geometric measure theory and fractal geometry, pertains to the dimension of the projections of sets in Euclidean spaces. The formula is primarily associated with the study of the Hausdorff dimension of a set and how this dimension can change under projections.
