The Elston–Stewart algorithm is a statistical method used for computing the likelihoods of genetic data in the context of genetic linkage analysis. It is particularly useful in the study of pedigrees, which are family trees that display the transmission of genetic traits through generations. ### Key Features of the Elston–Stewart Algorithm: 1. **Purpose**: The algorithm is designed to efficiently compute the likelihood of observing certain genotypes (genetic variants) in a family pedigree given specific genetic models.
