Abstract: Body size is an important determinant of fitness in many organisms. While size will typically change over the lifetime of an individual, heritable components of phenotypic variance may also ...

Complex traits with multiple phenotypic values changing over time are called time-dependent or longitudinal traits. Knowledge of the genetic effects influencing longitudinal patterns is important to ...

Analysis of familial diseases with variable age of onset is a common problem in human genetics. Most existing methods make some parametric distributional assumption on age of onset, and few methods ...

Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of the random forest regression technique (and a variant called bagging regression), where the goal is to ...

Dubbed the "Great Regression", more adults across the world are beginning to embrace kid-like or adolescent behaviour. It is on display in what we do (think Lego) and what we view (think superheroes).

The rise of increasingly complex computational systems has brought about a particularly challenging problem: How to control and classify the monumental amounts of data that is created and stored every ...
