Genome-wide association studies have been successful in identifying genes and pathways involved in the development of human complex traits and diseases 1,2. For many traits, such as height and BMI, ...

In this paper, a local 𝑀-estimation for the conditional variance function in heteroscedastic regression models under stationary α-mixing dependent samples is developed. The local 𝑀-estimator is ...

In the prediction of genetic values and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping via the mixed model method incorporating marker information in animal populations, it is important to model the genetic ...

There are several approaches to dealing with heteroscedasticity. If the error variance at different times is known, weighted regression is a good method. If, as is ...
