And Beckwith says that the failure to control for family environment could inflate estimates of genetic influence.
Excessive sweep rates are shown to inflate estimates of system loss factors above the true values in proportion to the square root of the sweep rate.
Evolutionary ecologist Andrew Hendry of McGill University in Montreal, Canada, agrees that ignoring evolution may inflate estimates of extinction rates caused by climate change.
This relatedness may inflate estimates of LD.
The number of nucleotide differences (SNPs and indels) from the within-group consensus was counted, as direct pairwise comparison of error-prone sequences will inflate estimated divergence.
Surveys on colleagues' behaviour might tend to inflate estimates of misconduct also because the same incident might be reported by many respondents.
Gene by age interaction can inflate estimates of dominance because it will decrease the correlation between parents and offspring as a result of their differences in age.
This could inflate estimates of ROH length and frequency because a proportion of apparent ROH may in fact consist of consecutive non-polymorphic SNPs, which provide no information on identity by descent.
This would artefactually inflate estimates of familiarity based on know responses.
However, re-referrals and repeat assessments would tend to inflate estimated referral and assessment rates.
We all recognize the hidden biases that inflate estimates of heritability.
