Abstract: Abstract In the analysis of multiple continuous variables in man and in the study of the heritable component of variation, methods have been published to partition the variation and covariation among a group of characters into its environmental and genetical components (Martin et.al., 1977, Eaves et.al., 1977). This methodology has been influenced by the fundamental works on analysis of covariances of Jøreskog (1973). This method has the advantage to determine by statistical test the adequacy of the models.
