Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares

Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares

A calibration curve is a plot of the instrument's response against a series of known concentrations of a substance. This curve is used to set the instrument response levels, using the substance and its concentrations as standards. Alternatively, or additionally, an equation is fitted to the calibration curve plot and subsequently used to calculate the unknown concentrations of other samples reliably.
For data that follow a straight line, the standard method for fitting is the linear...

Parametric Survival Analysis: Weibull and Exponential Methods

Parametric Survival Analysis: Weibull and Exponential Methods

Parametric survival analysis models survival data by assuming a specific probability distribution for the time until an event occurs. The Weibull and exponential distributions are two of the most commonly used methods in this context, due to their versatility and relatively straightforward application.
Weibull Distribution
The Weibull distribution is a flexible model used in parametric survival analysis. It can handle both increasing and decreasing hazard rates, depending on its shape parameter...

Quadratic Models

Quadratic Models

Quadratic models are mathematical representations used to describe relationships in which the rate of change changes at a constant rate. These models appear in a wide variety of natural and engineered systems, especially those involving motion, forces, and optimization. One common application is analyzing the vertical motion of objects influenced by gravity, such as a ball thrown into the air.In such scenarios, the object's height changes over time in a curved pattern, rising to a maximum point...

Polygenic Traits

Polygenic Traits

When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Background:

Random regression (RR) analysis is widely used for genetic analysis of dynamic traits measured over time.
B-splines offer a flexible alternative to orthogonal polynomials for modeling gene expression patterns within the RR framework.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate Bayesian B-spline quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping for dynamic traits.
To compare the performance of Bayesian B-spline mapping against interval mapping and Legendre polynomial-based Bayesian mapping.

Main Methods:

Utilized B-splines to model QTL effects and time-dependent environmental errors in a Bayesian framework.
Employed Bayesian shrinkage estimation for parameter estimation.
Simulated datasets with varying complexity to test the method's accuracy and power.

Main Results:

Bayesian B-spline mapping demonstrated superior statistical power compared to maximum likelihood-based interval mapping.
Legendre polynomial-based mapping failed to accurately identify QTLs in complex B-spline simulated growth curves.
Bayesian B-spline mapping successfully identified QTLs in both B-spline and Legendre polynomial-simulated datasets.

Conclusions:

B-splines are essential and flexible for Bayesian mapping of dynamic traits.
The proposed Bayesian B-spline method accurately identifies QTLs controlling complex temporal phenotypes.
Applied the method to identify QTLs for stem diameter growth trajectories in Populus.
