Regression methods are generally much easier to use (standard software like SAS or ASREML can easily be used), and the method is much faster computationally. Maximum likelihood is computationally more demanding, and specific software is needed. For many designs, results are very similar to regression. This makes regression analysis attractive as it can be used in resampling methods. Resampling methods are use to determine test statistics for hypothesis testing. In this Chapter we will discuss bootstrapping and permutation tests. We will also discuss QTL mapping with multiple markers (more than 2) and methods to account for more than one QTL. Accounting for other QTL has been proposed by including cofactors, or by using composite interval mapping. There are two classes of methods that are not discussed in the chapter. Those are the mixed model methods and Monte Carlo Markov Chain methods. In both methods,
