^§ $σ_{A_{D}}^{2}$ and $σ_{A_{I}}^{2}$ were set to 1.00; $σ_{E_{D}}^{2}$ and $σ_{E_{I}}^{2}$ were set to 2.00; group members belonged to four different families.
^§§ $σ_{A_{T}}^{2} = σ_{A_{D}}^{2} + 2 (n - 1) σ_{A_{DI}} + {(n - 1)}^{2} σ_{A_{I}}^{2}$ .
^§§§ $σ_{E^{*}}^{2} = n [σ_{E_{D}}^{2} + 2 (n - 1) σ_{E_{DI}} + {(n - 1)}^{2} σ_{E_{I}}^{2}]$ .
