Permutation-based significance analysis reduces the type 1 error rate in bisulphite sequencing data analysis of human umbilical cord blood samples [PDF]
DNA methylation patterns are largely established in-utero and might mediate the impacts of in-utero conditions on later health outcomes. Associations between perinatal DNA methylation marks and pregnancy-related variables, such as maternal age and ...

Does raising type 1 error rate improve power to detect interactions in linear regression models? A simulation study. [PDF]
Statistical interactions are a common component of data analysis across a broad range of scientific disciplines. However, the statistical power to detect interactions is often undesirably low.

Refractive errors in neurofibromatosis type 1 and type 2 [PDF]
To document the prevalence of refractive errors in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and type 2 (NF2) and to compare it with that of age- and sex-matched controls.82 patients with NF1, 21 patients with NF2 and 103 age- and sex-matched controls were evaluated in this prospective observational case-control study. Cycloplegic autorefraction and

Effects of violating the assumptions of equal variance and independent and identically distributed random variables: A case using {B}ayesian statistical modeling [PDF]
All statistical methods involve assumptions about the data and the output of the methods can be biased when the assumptions are not supported by the data. One of the common assumptions is equal variance across the conditions. Another common assumption is
