Assessing methods for assigning SNPs to genes in gene-based tests of association using common variants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Gene-based tests of association are frequently applied to common SNPs (MAF>5%) as an alternative to single-marker tests. In this analysis we conduct a variety of simulation studies applied to five popular gene-based tests investigating general trends ...

How multiple causes combine: independence constraints on causal inference
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 According to the causal power view, two core constraints – that causes occur independently (i.e., no confounding) and influence their effects independently – serve as boundary conditions for causal induction.

Amplitude-modulated, Cosine PE and WP Pulses: Theory and Applicability [PDF]
Radioengineering, 2021 The amplitude-modulated, cosine power-exponential (PE) and windowed-power (WP) pulses are discussed, by insisting on their time-domain normalization. Illustrative examples of signatures and their correspondent frequency-domain behavior are given.
