Approximation of capacities with additive measures

Karpatsʹkì Matematičnì Publìkacìï, 2017
For a space of non-additive regular measures on a metric compactum with the Prokhorov-style metric, it is shown that the problem of approximation of arbitrary measure with an additive measure on a fixed finite subspace reduces to linear optimization ...

Bayesian analysis and prediction of hybrid performance

Plant Methods, 2019
Background The selection of hybrids is an essential step in maize breeding. However, evaluating a large number of hybrids in field trials can be extremely costly.

Lattice separation, coseparation and regular measures

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1996
Let X be an arbitrary non-empty set, and let ℒ, ℒ1, ℒ2 be lattices of subsets of X containing ϕ and X. 𝒜(ℒ) designates the algebra generated by ℒ and M(ℒ), these finite, non-trivial, non-negative finitely additive measures on 𝒜(ℒ).

On maximal measures with respect to a lattice

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1991
Outer measures are used to obtain measures that are maximal with respect to a normal lattice. Alternate proofs are then given extending the measure theoretic characterizations of a normal lattice to an arbitrary, non-negative finitely additive measure on

The genetic architecture of fitness in a seed beetle: assessing the potential for indirect genetic benefits of female choice

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background Quantifying the amount of standing genetic variation in fitness represents an empirical challenge. Unfortunately, the shortage of detailed studies of the genetic architecture of fitness has hampered progress in several domains of evolutionary ...

Monotonicity is a key feature of genotype-phenotype maps

Frontiers in Genetics, 2013
It was recently shown that monotone gene action, i.e. order-preservation between allele content and corresponding genotypic values in the mapping from genotypes to phenotypes, is a prerequisite for achieving a predictable parent-offspring relationship ...

Low interspecific variation and no phylogenetic signal in additive genetic variance in wild bird and mammal populations

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Evolutionary adaptation through genetic change requires genetic variation and is a key mechanism enabling species to persist in changing environments. Although a substantial body of work has focused on understanding how and why additive genetic variance (

Correspondence Between Genomic- and Genealogical/Coalescent-Based Inference of Homozygosity by Descent in Large French-Canadian Genealogies

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Research on the genetics of complex traits overwhelmingly focuses on the additive effects of genes. Yet, animal studies have shown that non-additive effects, in particular homozygosity effects, can shape complex traits.

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...
