Variances and Covariances in Deconvolution
This paper discusses some aspects of deconvolution of one-dimensional spectra in the framework of the Least Squares Method and presents a minimum variance regularization procedure. Covariance matrices are taken into account in every step. Fluctuation and artifacts, both in the deconvolved and regularized spectra, are related to the structure of the covariance matrices. The method is applied to ...
متن کاملbiMM: efficient estimation of genetic variances and covariances for cohorts with high-dimensional phenotype measurements
Summary Genetic research utilizes a decomposition of trait variances and covariances into genetic and environmental parts. Our software package biMM is a computationally efficient implementation of a bivariate linear mixed model for settings where hundreds of traits have been measured on partially overlapping sets of individuals. Availability and Implementation Implementation in R freely avai...
متن کاملVariances and covariances of identity coefficients of a multigene family.
By using a model of gene conversion for treating concerted evolution of multigene families, a theory for calculating the variances and covariances of identity coefficients has been developed. Six coefficients on triple identity and 15 coefficients on quadruple identity are needed. The variances and covariances are obtained from the quadruple identity coefficients and divided into within-populat...
متن کاملBounds for covariances and variances of truncated random variables
We show that a lower bound for covariance of min(X 1 , X 2) and max(X 1 , X 2) is cov (X 1 , X 2) and an upper bound for variance of min(X 2 , max(X, X 1)) is var (X) + var (X 1) + var (X 2) generalizing previous results. We also characterize the cases where these bounds are sharp.
متن کاملThe Contribution of Quantitative Trait Loci and Neutral Marker Loci to the Genetic Variances and Covariances Among Quantitative Traits
Using Cockerham’s approach of orthogonal scales, we develop genetic models for the effect of an arbitrary number of multiallelic quantitative trait loci (QTLs) or neutral marker loci (NMLs) upon any number of quantitative traits. These models allow the unbiased estimation of the contributions of a set of marker loci to the additive and dominance variances and covariances among traits in a rando...
