How effectively can HIV phylogenies be used to measure heritability?
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The severity of HIV-1 infection, measured by set-point viral load (SPVL), is highly variable between individuals. Its heritability between infections quantifies the control the pathogen genotype has over disease severity. Heritability estimates vary widely between studies, but differences in methods make comparison difficult. Phylogenetic comparative analysis offers me...

متن کاملThe z-difference can be used to measure covariate balance in matched propensity score analyses.
OBJECTIVES The propensity score (PS) method is increasingly used to assess treatment effects in nonrandomized trials. Although there are several methods to use the PS for analysis, matching treated and untreated patients by the PS is recommended by most researchers among other reasons because this allows assessing covariate balance before and after matching. Although the standardized difference...
