The residual variance and the proportion of explained variation are important quantities in many statistical models and model fitting procedures. They play an important role in regression diagnostics ...

By integrating sophisticated statistical models—such as analysis of variance (ANOVA), linear regression and mixed‐model approaches—with classical Mendelian concepts, this discipline enables ...

In combination with a linear model analysis, this approach is able to unambiguously partition the variance due to different species identities and the variance due to nonlinear species richness, a ...
