The confluence model explains birth-order differences in intellectual performance by quantifying the changing dynamics within the family. Wichman, Rodgers, and MacCallum (2006) claimed that these differences are a between-family phenomenon--and hence are not directly related to birth order itself. The study design and analyses presented by Wichman et al. nevertheless suffer from crucial shortco...

Birth order is not associated with intelligence in between-family data once the number of siblings is statistically controlled. The analyses support ...
متن کاملSimple stochastic birth andz death models of genome evolution: was there enough time for us to evolve?
MOTIVATION The distributions of many genome-associated quantities, including the membership of paralogous gene families can be approximated with power laws. We are interested in developing mathematical models of genome evolution that adequately account for the shape of these distributions and describe the evolutionary dynamics of their formation. RESULTS We show that simple stochastic models ...
