Table 2 Mean estimates of location (μ) and scale (σ) parameters with Minimum Distance (MD) and Maximum Like-lihood (ML) methodologies. Values in parentheses are the empirical standard deviations over 200 replicates. The power in detecting differences between QTL means (∏_μ) and standard deviations (∏_σ) is also shown. Population size 200, 5 outliers, μ₁ = σ₁ = 1
