Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...

Fossil samples almost always accumulate on timescales much longer than the life spans of individual organisms. This time-averaging has the potential to inflate the variability of fossil samples ...

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 ...

Unicellular, motile, phototropic green algae were extracted from soil samples taken at metre intervals along a 25-m transect in a wheat field. The vegetative growth of 61 randomly selected isolates ...

Variance is a statistical calculation that numerically describes the amount of variation in a data set. If values in a data set wildly fluctuate, variance would be high and predictions based on the ...

In a recent article posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, scientists characterized the effect of individual infectiousness variance on the transmission heterogeneity of severe acute respiratory ...

Assess a discrete measurement. Perform analyzes for potential and long term control and capability. Make decisions on measurement systems process improvement. In this module, we will learn to identify ...
