Concepts of Epidemiology

Abstract Epidemiology is a population science that underpins health improvement and health care, and is concerned with the pattern, frequency, trends, and causes of disease. This book teaches its applications to population health research, ...

Introduction to Epidemiology

This chapter introduces the foundational concepts of epidemiology as the scientific study of health and disease patterns in populations. It outlines the distinction between descriptive and analytical approaches, establishing the importance ...

The PPLD has advantages over conventional regression methods in application to moderately sized genome-wide association studies.

In earlier work, we have developed and evaluated an alternative approach to the analysis of GWAS data, based on a statistic called the PPLD. More recently, motivated by a GWAS for genetic modifiers of the X-linked Mendelian disorder Duchenn...
