Sentence examples for environmental estimate from inspiring English sources

The shared environmental estimate (.12) is not significant, indicating that shared environment independent of 10-year achievement does not contribute significantly to 12-year achievement; the re-standardized shared environmental component is 21% (.12/.58 = .21).21

However, corrections based on previous findings show that the shared environmental estimate may be almost entirely accounted for as extra additive genetic variance arising from assortative mating for homophobic attitudes.

Even a high test-retest reliability of.8 indicates that 20% of the variance cannot be accounted for; in twin model fitting the 20% would be 'added' to the variance component that reflects a combination of child-specific environmental influences and measurement error, hence deflating the heritability estimate (and possible shared environmental estimate).

The twins' self ratings yielded higher non-shared environmental estimates than the estimates built upon mothers and fathers scores.

Dietary and environmental estimates of Cd exposure were not significant predictors (p > 0.1) of U-Cd concentrations in this population.

The estimates of the boys additive genetic effects on the maternal scores were larger, while the nonshared environmental estimates were smaller than the same estimates for the girls.

The twins reared together design generally yields common environmental estimates that are lower than those reported in adoption studies (Buchanan et al. 2009).

Minor fluctuations were found between models (bivariate model to the full multivariate model) in the genetic and environmental estimates for conduct problems, which can be expected to be a result of the model estimation.

The process of fitting genetic models started with an ACE model with quantitative sex differences, which allowed for differences between boys and girls in the magnitudes of the genetic, and shared and unique environmental estimates.

A model with no gender differences (i.e. the genetic and environmental estimates for males and females are equated) is referred to as a 'sex homogeneity', or 'no sex effects model' [ 37].

We also tested for quantitative differences in aetiology due to age by assessing whether the genetic and environmental estimates can be equated for individuals from different age groups without a significant drop in fit.
