Permutation methods for the structured exploratory data analysis (SEDA) of familial trait values.

S Karlin, P T Williams

    American Journal of Human Genetics
    |July 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study introduces new statistical methods to analyze how traits transmit across generations within families. These structured exploratory data analysis (SEDA) tools help uncover familial influences on various health and cognitive traits.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Biostatistics
    • Family Studies

    Background:

    • Understanding familial trait transmission is crucial for genetic and environmental studies.
    • Existing methods may not fully capture complex intergenerational influences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose novel statistical functions for analyzing familial trait transmission.
    • To develop structured exploratory data analysis (SEDA) statistics for quantifying these effects.

    Main Methods:

    • Functions contrasting familial trait values across generations were developed.
    • Two classes of SEDA statistics (SEDA-functionals and SEDA-indices) were derived from ratios of these functions.
    • Permutation techniques were used to assess the statistical significance of SEDA results.

    Main Results:

    • The methodology was successfully applied to diverse datasets including cholesterol, height, dermatoglyphics, enzyme activity, and cognitive test scores.
    • The proposed SEDA framework provides a robust approach to dissecting familial influences.
    • Permutation testing effectively determined the significance of observed transmission patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed SEDA functions and statistics offer a powerful toolkit for studying familial trait transmission.
    • This approach enhances the analysis of genetic and environmental factors influencing observable traits.
    • The methodology's versatility is demonstrated across multiple biological and behavioral domains.
