The biometric model explains phenotypic variation as influenced by additive genetic factors (A), non-additive genetic effects (D), shared environmental factors (C) and non-shared environmental factors (E).
“The biometric model explains phenotypic variation as influenced by additive genetic factors (A), non-additive genetic effects (D), shared environmental factors (C) and non-shared environmental factors (E) (Eaves, Last, Young, & Martin, 1978; Fisher, 1918; Jinks & Fulker, 1970).”

Artifactual interactions can occur from subtle changes in the definition and scaling of variables.
“Yet another concern when testing for interaction effects is the potential for artifactual interactions that can occur secondary to subtle changes in definition and scaling of the variables”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
