Theresidualvariationmay come from biological and technical factors.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Second, parameter estimates could be biased, asresidualvariationwas still unexplained.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Moreover, the low diet quality increasedresidualvariationof the traits, altering heritability values.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Theresidualvariationcan be explained by some other variables not included in the model.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Theresidualvariationwas significantly smaller than those from the variables.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Of course much of theresidualvariationmay simply reflect measurement error and individual variation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Yet substantialresidualvariationsuggests additional, untreated variables affect parasite loads.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These outliers contribute excessively to theresidualvariation, and therefore decrease the power of parametric tests.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In order to study a possible association betweenresidualvariationand additive genetic values, the following discrepancy statistics are constructed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Despite the explanatory power of the variables we have focused on, substantialresidualvariationamong fields remains unexplained.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, the presence of additive genetic values affectingresidualvariationis given high credibility by all three methods.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As heritability is a ratio, low heritability can result either from low genetic variation or from highresidualvariation(or both).
From theCambridge English Corpus
In primates, adaptive specialization is suggested by the existence of a covarying visual system, and may explain someresidualvariationin the constraint model.
From theCambridge English Corpus
To address the question of the relevance of the theory reported here, it is clear that more data on genetic variation inresidualvariationare necessary.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The model's postulate of the presence of additive genetic values affectingresidualvariation, correlated with additive genetic values influencing litter size, must be allowed to stand until further investigation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Heritability of development time remained high and nearly constant across the treatments because both genetic andresidualvariation, measured as coefficients of variation, increased when the diet quality decreased.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Rapidly decaying epigenetic effects on phenotypes (i.e. lasting less than three generations) may explain some of theresidualvariationin phenotypes after genotype and environment are accounted for.
