NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING

Classifying classic books using the nltk (natural language toolkit) package in Python. Tag text with parts-of-speech (POS), chunk by POS patterns (e.g., adjective followed by noun), create subtrees based on chunking patterns. Count tables by POS (numpy package), plotting (matplotlib).

MIXED LINEAR REGRESSION

ANCOVA mixed models in SAS Procedure Mixed, which uses REML estimation (restricted maximum likelihood). Type III tests of fixed effects, allowing multiple-degree interactions. Nested random effects. Null hypothesis testing. Standardize covariates to z-score (i.e., mean 0, standard deviation 1). Repeated measures. A priori contrasts.

PEDIGREE ANALYSIS

Heritability estimates by mixed "animal" models in ASReml-R and MCMCglmm in R: A type of mixed model that partitions phenotypic variation and estimates direct additive genetic variance, indirect additive genetic variance, and their covariance. 95% Confidence Intervals based on fixed effects +/- standard error (proLik from nadiv package in R).
