distribution for ratios?
Dear all, we are trying to run a meta-analysis on factors affecting heritability in MCMCglmm. As it is a ratio of 2 variances, the values are bounded between one and zero, but can not be interpreted as Success/NbTrials, so we can not use a binomial distribution. So the trouble we're having is knowing which distribution to use? Should we just use a Gaussian? Many thanks in advance for your help Best regards Celine
