In this paper we present a new method for estimating genetic parameters of an F2- generation model. Using an iterative algorithm we derive explicit expressions for the Maximum Likelihood estimates of the additive and dominance effects. Finally we calculate the variance covariance matrix of our...

Do active vertical mass movements occur within a population of phototropic bacteria in the meromictic Lake Cadagno. An experiment was conducted in vivo to record vertical profiles of the parameters turbidity and temperature in a spatial resolution of 30 cm repeatedly over time. After eliminating...

Research concerning the quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping in plant genetics usually consists of two stages. The first stage is concerned with collecting data while the second one, based on the data collected, is concerned with a proper QTL study. The final inferences are strictly connected...

Recent releases of X-13ARIMA-SEATS and JDemetra+ enable their users to choose between the non-parametric X-11 and the parametric ARIMA model-based approach to seasonal adjustment for any given time series without the necessity of switching between different software packages. To ease the...
