Midparent
text:
In human genetics the midparent value of a trait is defined as the average of the trait value of the father and a scaled version of that of the mother. This value can be used in a study to analyze the data set without heeding sex effects. Studying quantitative traits in heritability studies may be complicated by sex differences observed for the trait. Well-known examples include studies of humans' height, whose midparent value hmp is given by: where hf is the father's height, and hm the mother's
