Short Communication Data-Dredging Gene-Dose Analyses in Association Studies: Biases and their Corrections
To examine the joint effect of multiple loci on disease risk, many case-control association studies used ‘‘gene-dose analyses.’’ However, some researchers defined high-risk genotypes (or alleles) as those that have higher genotypic (allelic) frequencies in the case group compared with the control group in the study. This will lead to the total number of the ‘‘high-risk’’ genotypes (alleles) ten...

متن کاملMeasurement biases in panel data
. The objective of this paper is to examine reporting errors in panel data obtained from multi-day travel diaries. A distinction is made between within and between wave biases. The former leads to an increase in under-reporting associated with the number of days the diary is kept. The latter is related to the number of waves respondents have been participating, so-called panel experience. These...
متن کاملBiases in comparative analyses of extinction risk: mind the gap.
1. Comparative analyses are used to address the key question of what makes a species more prone to extinction by exploring the links between vulnerability and intrinsic species' traits and/or extrinsic factors. This approach requires comprehensive species data but information is rarely available for all species of interest. As a result comparative analyses often rely on subsets of relatively fe...
متن کاملSignal Detection Measures Cannot Distinguish Perceptual Biases from Response Biases.
A common conceptualization of signal detection theory (SDT) holds that if the effect of an experimental manipulation is truly perceptual, then it will necessarily be reflected in a change in d' rather than a change in the measure of response bias. Thus, if an experimental manipulation affects the measure of bias, but not d', then it is safe to conclude that the manipulation in question did not ...
