The variability of characters within populations is generally measured as a function of the character variance, although questions of nongeographic variation are addressed as tests of mean differences ...

Schizophrenia is a complex disorder caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Using 9,087 affected individuals, 12,171 controls and 915,354 imputed SNPs from the Schizophrenia Psychiatric ...

I have recently mentioned an analogy between the heritability of height & weight. That is, the proportion of variance of the trait which can be explained by variance in the genes. How closely do ...

This article proposes a new parameter, the group or class dominance probability, to measure the relative importance of random effects in one-way random effects models. This parameter is the ...

This article looks at a simple structured approach to assigning variance contributions and to assuring that the analytical procedure is fit for purpose. The ...
