Permutation inference methods for multivariate meta-analysis
, 2019 Multivariate meta-analysis is gaining prominence in evidence synthesis research because it enables simultaneous synthesis of multiple correlated outcome data, and random-effects models have generally been used for addressing between-studies ...

Sophisticated sperm allocation in male fowl [PDF]
, 2003 When a female is sexually promiscuous, the ejaculates of different males compete for the fertilization of her eggs; the more sperm a male inseminates into a female, the more likely he is to fertilize her eggs.

Estimation of genetic variation in residual variance in female and male broiler chickens [PDF]
, 2008 In breeding programs, robustness of animals and uniformity of end product can be improved by exploiting genetic variation in residual variance. Residual variance can be defined as environmental variance after accounting for all identifiable effects.

A second-order efficient empirical Bayes confidence interval
, 2014 We introduce a new adjusted residual maximum likelihood method (REML) in the context of producing an empirical Bayes (EB) confidence interval for a normal mean, a problem of great interest in different small area applications.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasThe Paspalum genus has potential for further genetic improvement because of its adaptability to different ecosystems and production of high yields for grazing livestock. We estimate the genetic parameters of 195 intraspecific P.

Prediction of genotypic values via REML/BLUP and path analysis in maize half-sib families
Caderno PedagógicoMaize has significant relevance to food and economic security. The study aimed to evaluate the genetic gain between maize half-sib families, in the first cycle of recurrent selection, using the REML/BLUP methodology.

Choosing parent tropical wheat genotypes through genetic dissimilarity based on REML/BLUP
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2020 Parent selection is a crucial step in breeding programs. In the present study, we evaluated the genetic diversity in tropical wheat genotypes using best linear unbiased predictions (BLUPs) by different grouping methods. We identified potential parents to

Explicit Effects and Effect Constraints in ReML
Proc. ACM Program. Lang.An important aspect of building robust systems that execute on dedicated hardware and perhaps in constrained environments is to control and manage the effects performed by program code. We present ReML, a higher-order statically-typed functional language,

A genome-wide association study demonstrates significant genetic variation for fracture risk in Thoroughbred racehorses [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Thoroughbred racehorses are subject to non-traumatic distal limb bone fractures that occur during racing and exercise. Susceptibility to fracture may be due to underlying disturbances in bone metabolism which have a genetic cause.
