Re-ranking sequencing variants in the post-GWAS era for accurate causal variant identification.
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Next generation sequencing has dramatically increased our ability to localize disease-causing variants by providing base-pair level information at costs increasingly feasible for the large sample sizes required to detect complex-trait associations.

Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies from Scaling Seeds: Generic Properties of the Correlation Functions [PDF]
, 1997 In this work we present a partially new method to analyze fluctuations which are induced by causal scaling seeds. We show that the power spectra due to this kind of seed perturbations are determined by five analytic functions, which we determine ...

Identity as a causal power [PDF]
The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, 2018 We propose a critical realist-informed conception of entrepreneurial identity – the personal power to create a new venture. Although most people have the power to become an entrepreneur, not everyone can, or is motivated to, realize that potential.

TATES: efficient multivariate genotype-phenotype analysis for genome-wide association studies. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 To date, the genome-wide association study (GWAS) is the primary tool to identify genetic variants that cause phenotypic variation. As GWAS analyses are generally univariate in nature, multivariate phenotypic information is usually reduced to a single ...

The MVGC multivariate Granger causality toolbox: a new approach to Granger-causal inference [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Wiener-Granger causality (“G-causality”) is a statistical notion of causality applicable to time series data, whereby cause precedes, and helps predict, effect.
