Using simulations to evaluate Mantel‐based methods for assessing landscape resistance to gene flow
Mantel-based tests have been the primary analytical methods for understanding how landscape features influence observed spatial genetic structure. Simulation studies examining Mantel-based approaches have highlighted major challenges associated with the use of such tests and fueled debate on when the Mantel test is appropriate for landscape genetics studies. We aim to provide some clarity in th...
متن کاملComparison of the Mantel test and alternative approaches for detecting complex multivariate relationships in the spatial analysis of genetic data.
The Mantel test is widely used to test the linear or monotonic independence of the elements in two distance matrices. It is one of the few appropriate tests when the hypothesis under study can only be formulated in terms of distances; this is often the case with genetic data. In particular, the Mantel test has been widely used to test for spatial relationship between genetic data and spatial la...
متن کاملRe-Evaluating Causal Modeling with Mantel Tests in Landscape Genetics
The predominant analytical approach to associate landscape patterns with gene flow processes is based on the association of cost distances with genetic distances between individuals. Mantel and partial Mantel tests have been the dominant statistical tools used to correlate cost distances and genetic distances in landscape genetics. However, the inherent high correlation among alternative resist...
متن کاملEffect of Component Dismantling on Quality of Sterilization of Mechanical Torque Limiting Devices(Pilot Study)
Objectives Dental instruments may serve as a route of infection transmission. The necessity of dismantling of Friction-Style (FS) and SpringStyle (SS) mechanical torque limiting devices (MTLDs) prior to disinfection and sterilization is a matter of debate, aside fromthe fact that it is difcult and time-consuming. This study sought to assess the effect of dismantling of components on quality of ...
متن کاملGeneralized Mantel-Haenszel Procedures for 2 × J Tables
Generalization of Mantel-Haenszel procedure for 2 x J (J > 2) tables is reviewed. Included are generalized Mantel-Haenszel tests, estimators for a common odds ratio, and generalized Breslow-Day test for the homogeneity of odds ratios across the strata.-Environ Health Perspect 102(Suppl 8): 57-60 (1994)
