Reply to comment by perta1234 in Understanding Heritability (h^2) Statistic? by Chance_Literature193

Oh I see. You mean Bernoulli trial. Interesting, would call a something discrete qualitative too or just Bernoulli?

When I asking about the conditional probability of trait given parents have trait, I was really thinking of something like height (continuous), but figured find out if such statistic exists in the simpler situation where we consider a yes or no trait.

That would be maybe more like the expected height given phenotype or genotype of parents, or posterior probability of height in certain range? The oldest quantitative prediction is that progeny is the average of parents. Clearly hides a lot of variation under that simple mean. Maybe check things like estimated breeding value. Might help. Good luck.
