The estimation of the heritability of anthropometric measurements.
The relative contributions of genetic and environmental components in the variability of anthropometric measurements were studied in 54 twin pairs. Thirty pairs of monozygotic (MZ) and 24 pairs of dizygotic (DZ) twins were investigated to estimate the role of genetic, environmental and hereditary factors determining anthropometric measurements comprising body weight, standing height, sitting he...

متن کاملError estimation for indirect measurements is exponentially hard
For many physical quantities, it is impossible or too costly to measure them directly. In such cases, we measure whatever quantities x1, ..., xn we can, and then we use the measurement results x̃1, ..., x̃n to estimate the value of the desired quantity y. Namely, as an estimate, we use ỹ = f(x̃1, ..., x̃n), where an algorithm f describes how the value y is related to xi. This procedure is called an...
