Mean-Variance QTL Mapping on a Background of Variance Heterogeneity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
ABSTRACTMost QTL mapping approaches seek to identify “mean QTL”, genetic loci that influence the phenotype mean, after assuming that all individuals in the mapping population have equal residual variance. Recent work has broadened the scope of QTL mapping to identify genetic loci that influence phenotype variance, termed “variance QTL”, or some ...

Estimated Heterogeneity of Phenotypic Variance of Test-Day Yield with a Structural Variance Model [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2004
First-lactation test-day milk, fat, and protein yields from New York, Wisconsin, and California herds from 1990 through 2000 were adjusted additively for age and lactation stage. A random regression model with third-order Legendre polynomials for permanent environmental and genetic effects was used.

Modelos de regressão aleatória na avaliação genética do crescimento de ovinos da raça Santa Inês Random regression models on genetic evaluation on the growth of Santa Inês breed sheep

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2010
Utilizaram-se 17.767 registros de peso de 4.210 cordeiros da raça Santa Inês com o objetivo de comparar modelos de regressão aleatória com diferentes estruturas para modelar a variância residual em estudos genéticos da curva de crescimento.

The Multi-allelic Genetic Architecture of a Variance-Heterogeneity Locus for Molybdenum Concentration in Leaves Acts as a Source of Unexplained Additive Genetic Variance. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2015
Genome-wide association (GWA) analyses have generally been used to detect individual loci contributing to the phenotypic diversity in a population by the effects of these loci on the trait mean. More rarely, loci have also been detected based on variance

The contributions of stochastic demography and social inequality to lifespan variability [PDF]

open access: yesDemographic Research, 2023
BACKGROUND: Individual lifespans differ. Some of those differences are due to heterogeneity, some to stochasticity. Some of the heterogeneity is due to socioeconomic, physiological, or environmental differences; some to unobserved latent factors.

Estimation of Heterogeneous Error Variances [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1950
WE consider a set of pq observations xij in a two-way classification, which we may suppose represented by the model where αi and βj are constants and the eij are independent normal random errors with zero means and variances σj2; αi, βj and σj2 are unknown, and it is desired to ...

Normalization and variance stabilization of single-cell RNA-seq data using regularized negative binomial regression

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2019
Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data exhibits significant cell-to-cell variation due to technical factors, including the number of molecules detected in each cell, which can confound biological heterogeneity with technical effects.

Estimates of heterogeneity (I2) can be biased in small meta-analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In meta-analysis, the fraction of variance that is due to heterogeneity is known as I2. We show that the usual estimator of I2 is biased. The bias is largest when a meta-analysis has few studies and little heterogeneity.
