Bayesian robust analysis for genetic architecture of quantitative traits
MOTIVATION In most quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping studies, phenotypes are assumed to follow normal distributions. Deviations from this assumption may affect the accuracy of QTL detection and lead to detection of spurious QTLs. To improve the robustness of QTL mapping methods, we replaced the normal distribution for residuals in multiple interacting QTL models with the normal/independent...
متن کاملBayesian shrinkage analysis of quantitative trait Loci for dynamic traits.
Many quantitative traits are measured repeatedly during the life of an organism. Such traits are called dynamic traits. The pattern of the changes of a dynamic trait is called the growth trajectory. Studying the growth trajectory may enhance our understanding of the genetic architecture of the growth trajectory. Recently, we developed an interval-mapping procedure to map QTL for dynamic traits ...
متن کاملBayesian modelling of multivariate quantitative traits using seemingly unrelated regressions.
We investigate a Bayesian approach to modelling the statistical association between markers at multiple loci and multivariate quantitative traits. In particular, we describe the use of Bayesian Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR) whereby genotypes at the different loci are allowed to have non-simultaneous effects on the phenotypes considered with residuals from each regression assumed correla...
متن کاملBayesian Multivariate Regression Analysis with a New Class of Skewed Distributions
In this paper, we introduce a novel class of skewed multivariate distributions and, more generally, a method of building such a class on the basis of univariate skewed distributions. The method is based on a general linear transformation of a multidimensional random variable with independent components, each with a skewed distribution. Our proposed class of multivariate skewed distributions has...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Shape Mixtures of Skewed Distributions, with Application to Regression Analysis
We introduce a class of shape mixtures of skewed distributions and study some of its main properties. We discuss a Bayesian interpretation and some invariance results of the proposed class. We develop a Bayesian analysis of the skew-normal, skew-generalized-normal, skew-normal-t and skew-t-normal linear regression models under some special prior specifications for the model parameters. In parti...
