Familiarity Estimates from Restricted Samples.

Vining, Daniel R., Jr.

Intelligence, v9 n1 p15-21 Mar 1985

It has been suggested that IQ's of gifted children resemble parents less than do people in general. This finding may have been an artifact of the particular estimator of the regression coefficient used. An unbiased estimator is introduced and shows that gifted children resemble parents more than persons in general. (Author/RD)
