The variability of characters within populations is generally measured as a function of the character variance, although questions of nongeographic variation are addressed as tests of mean differences ...

When a company plans a project, it will estimate the cost of the project before beginning. It may also estimate the amount of time it expects the project to take to complete. However, these estimates ...

The distribution of genetic variation among multiple traits is a key determinant of how a population will respond to selection (Lande, 1979; Schluter, 1996; Arnold et al., 2001). For the prediction of ...

I have recently mentioned an analogy between the heritability of height & weight. That is, the proportion of variance of the trait which can be explained by variance in the genes. How closely do ...

This article proposes a new parameter, the group or class dominance probability, to measure the relative importance of random effects in one-way random effects models. This parameter is the ...
