The nonrandom association between different genes, termed linkage disequilibrium (LD), provides a powerful tool for high-resolution mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying complex traits.

There has been an important move away from the term “statistical significance” in the scientific and statistical community. The desire to “retire 0.05” is rooted in improving scientific reporting by ...

The advent of complete genetic linkage maps of DNA markers has made the systematic study of mapping the quantitative trait loci (QTL) in experimental organisms feasible. In recent years, ...

Confidence intervals are computed from a random sample and therefore they are also random. The long run behavior of a 95% confidence interval is such that we’d expect 95% of the confidence intervals ...

Inter Spike Interval (ISI), which characterizes neuronal activity, exhibits large variation as shown with the coefficient of variation (CV) and the local coefficient of variations (LV) in the cerebral ...

In the final article of a three-part series, the authors discuss how to present a design space and evaluate its graphical representation. Parts I and II of this article appeared in the July and August ...
