Abstract
A brief review of estimation and tests of hypotheses concerning interclass and intraclass correlations from familial data is given. A modified likelihood ratio test is proposed for testing the equality of intraclass correlations in two multivariate normal populations. The asymptotic null distribution of the proposed test statistic is obtained. A test procedure based on Fisher’s z-transformation is also discussed.
