Evaluating statistical trends in high-dimensional phenotypes poses challenges for comparative biologists, because the high-dimensionality of the trait data relative to the number of species can ...

Permutation methods provide flexible, distribution-free approaches to statistical inference by rearranging data labels to generate an empirical null distribution for a test statistic. Historically ...

Testing for association between a set of genetic markers and a phenotype is a fundamental task in genetic studies. Standard approaches for heritability and set testing strongly rely on parametric ...
