Decomposition of multivariate phenotypic means in multigroup genetic covariance structure analysis.
Observed differences in phenotypic means between groups such as parents and their offspring or male and female twins can be decomposed into genetic and environmental components. The decomposition is based on the assumption that the difference in phenotypic means is due to a difference in the location of the normal genetic and environmental distributions underlying the phenotypic individual diff...
متن کاملCovariance decomposition in multivariate analysis
The covariance between two variables in a multivariate Gaussian distribution is decomposed into a sum of path weights for all paths connecting the two variables in an undirected graph. These weights are useful in determining which variables are important in mediating correlation between the two path endpoints. The decomposition arises in undirected Gaussian graphical models and does not require...
متن کاملSimultaneous genetic analysis of longitudinal means and covariance structure in the simplex model using twin data.
A longitudinal model based on the simplex model is presented to analyze simultaneously means and covariance structure using univariate longitudinal twin data. The objective of the model is to decompose the mean trend into components which can be attributed to those genetic and environmental factors which give rise to phenotypic individual differences and a component of unknown constitution whic...
متن کاملSimultaneous genetic analysis of means and covariance structure: Pearson-Lawley selection rules.
The object of this paper is to indicate that the Pearson-Lawley selection rules form a plausible general theory for the simultaneous genetic analysis of means and covariance structure. Models are presented based on phenotypic selection and latent selection. Previously presented quantitative genetic models to decompose means and covariance structure simultaneously are reconsidered as instances o...
متن کاملHierarchical multivariate covariance analysis of metabolic connectivity
Conventional brain connectivity analysis is typically based on the assessment of interregional correlations. Given that correlation coefficients are derived from both covariance and variance, group differences in covariance may be obscured by differences in the variance terms. To facilitate a comprehensive assessment of connectivity, we propose a unified statistical framework that interrogates ...
