LOCate is applicable to linkage analysis for ordinal or nominal traits, a versatility which we demonstrate by analyzing simulated data with a nominal trait, on which LOCate outperforms LOT, an existing method which is designed for ordinal traits.
Three main methodologies have been proposed to select the best applicable score linkage to a given scenario, which are equating, scale aligning, and prediction [ 13].
Alternatively, NN may be applicable to linkage analysis under certain conditions, and the lack of widespread adoption of the technique may be due to the high degree of variability of success in previous NN applications for linkage analysis.
Although we also examined several published SSR markers in IRGSP (2005), they were not applicable to the linkage analysis.
Twelve frameworks (legal, regulatory and governance) applicable to the linkage of healthcare data were identified.
These findings are likely to be applicable to the linkage of any specialised health services datasets to population data that include information on diagnoses or procedures.
The construction of an Asian genetic map may be applicable to further linkage studies of Asian ethnic groups as well as to understanding the genomic variations between Asians and Caucasians with megabase resolution.
Although this study is based on perinatal data, the findings are likely to be applicable to the linkage of any specialised health services datasets that include information on diagnoses or procedures.
Vital status and date of death, if applicable, are verified by linkage to the municipal administration.
The high-density SNPs map developed in this study is now applicable for genotyping or linkage analysis of the parasite.
