Evolutionary Approaches to Variable Selection
The importance of juice beverages in daily food habits makes juice authentication an important issue, for example, to avoid fraudulent practices. A successful classification model should address two important cornerstones of the quality control of juicebased beverages: to monitor the amount of juice and to monitor the amount (and nature) of other substances added to the beverages. Particularly,...
متن کاملNatural selection on gall size: variable contributions of individual host plants to population-wide patterns.
Studies that provide estimates of the form and magnitude of selection on herbivore traits at the level of individual plants in natural populations represent a vital step in understanding the interaction of selection and gene flow among host-affiliated insect populations when individual plants equate to differing selective regimes. We analyzed phenotypic selection on the trait gall size for a ho...
متن کاملAlternative methods of selection for litter size in mice: III. Response to 21 generations of selection.
Alternative methods of selection to increase litter size in mice have been practiced for 21 generations followed by six generations of relaxed selection. Three replicates were used with four selection criteria: index of components (IX:I = 1.21 x total ovulation rate + 9.05 x ova success), uterine capacity (UT), litter size (LS), and an unselected control (LC). In IX, ovulation rate and ova succ...
متن کاملEco-evolutionary dynamics in response to selection on life-history
Understanding the consequences of environmental change on ecological and evolutionary dynamics is inherently problematic because of the complex interplay between them. Using invertebrates in microcosms, we characterise phenotypic, population and evolutionary dynamics before, during and after exposure to a novel environment and harvesting over 20 generations. We demonstrate an evolved change in ...
متن کاملResponse to the comment: Variable selection should be blinded to the outcome.
When multivariate models are used for confounder adjustment, all potential confounders should be included in the model, or if not, their selection should be blinded to the outcome. Other methods, such as “pre-filtering” variables based on their univariate association with the outcome may give rise to biased regression coefficients, biased standard errors, biased confidence intervals, misspe...
