The object of this paper is to describe a simple model of the occurrence of rare heritable traits. In the past, a standard deterministic model has been used to relate the incidence A of a trait to the mutation rate v. One use of such a model is estimation of the mutation rate from the incidence. Here the emphasis is on the potential variability of occurrence by introduction of stochastic elemen...

This study investigates perceptions of organizational image and attractiveness among 200 potential applicants for the Belgian Defense and the person (e.g., friend, parent) accompanying them to a job fair. The instrumental-symbolic framework is applied to conceptualize the key dimensions of an organization‟s image as an employer. The results indicate that instrumental image attributes predict pe...

The combined investigation of environmental and genetic risk-factors in complex traits will refocus attention on the case-control study. Endometriosis is an example of a complex trait for which most case-control studies have not followed the basic criteria of epidemiological study design. Appropriate control selection has been a particular problem. This article reviews the principles underlying...
