We study statistical methods toestimate the heritability of a biological trait,which is the proportion of variations of thistrait that can be explained by genetic factors.First, we propose to study the heritability ofquantitative traits using high-dimensionalsparse linear mixed models. We investigate thetheoretical properties of the maximumlikelihood estimator for the heritability and weshow that it is a consistent estimator and that itsatisfies a central limit theorem with a closedformexpression for the asymptotic variance.This result, supported by an extendednumerical study, shows that the variance of ourestimator is strongly affected by the ratiobetween the number of observations and thesize of the random genetic effects. Moreprecisely, ...
