Method and Effect of Adjustment for Heterogeneous Variance

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 1991
Lactation records were standardized for differing genetic and error variances across herds and over time based on phenotypic variance for each herd-year-parity group. Each herd-year-parity phenotypic variance estimate was combined with those of adjacent years and regressed toward a region-year-parity variance. Heritability was assumed to be .25 at mean

Texture analysis of vertebral bone marrow using chemical shift encoding–based water-fat MRI:a feasibility study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Summary This feasibility study investigated the spatial heterogeneity of the lumbar vertebral bone marrow using chemical shift encoding–based water-fat MRI. Acquired texture features like contrast and dissimilarity allowed for differentiation of pre- and

Factors influencing heterogeneity of radiation-induced DNA-damage measured by the alkaline comet assay

open access: yesRadiation Oncology, 2012
Background To investigate whether different conditions of DNA structure and radiation treatment could modify heterogeneity of response. Additionally to study variance as a potential parameter of heterogeneity for radiosensitivity testing.

Accounting for Local Geological Variability in Sequential Simulations—Concept and Application

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020
Heterogeneity-preserving property models of subsurface regions are commonly constructed by means of sequential simulations. Sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS) and direct sequential simulation (DSS) draw values from a local probability density function ...

Genetic dissection of the Drosophila melanogaster female head transcriptome reveals widespread allelic heterogeneity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2014
Modern genetic mapping is plagued by the "missing heritability" problem, which refers to the discordance between the estimated heritabilities of quantitative traits and the variance accounted for by mapped causative variants.

Model-specific tests on variance heterogeneity for detection of potentially interacting genetic loci

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2012
Background Trait variances among genotype groups at a locus are expected to differ in the presence of an interaction between this locus and another locus or environment.

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.

Changes in Body Composition in Children and Young People Undergoing Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

Modelling heterogeneity variances in multiple treatment comparison meta-analysis ��� Are informative priors the better solution?

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2013
Background Multiple treatment comparison (MTC) meta-analyses are commonly modeled in a Bayesian framework, and weakly informative priors are typically preferred to mirror familiar data driven frequentist approaches.

A comparison of heterogeneity variance estimators in simulated random‐effects meta‐analyses

open access: yesResearch Synthesis Methods, 2018
Studies combined in a meta‐analysis often have differences in their design and conduct that can lead to heterogeneous results. A random‐effects model accounts for these differences in the underlying study effects, which includes a heterogeneity variance ...
