  1. Plant Science 547 Biometrics for Plant Scientists Association Between Characters

  2. Effect of One Treatment on Another • Test hypothetical models for biological systems. To explain relationships (i.e. linear, quadratic, etc., orthogonal contrasts). • To predict the values of one variable according to set values of another.

  3. Possible Relationships of Interest • Predictoptimal nitrogen application to maximize seed yield. • Determine deficiencies in national supply of specific agricultural products by relating yield to weather related characters (rainfall, sunshine, etc). • Explain relationship between plant biomass and time after seeding to select for more insect tolerant cultivars.

  4. Charles Darwin • Born in England, educated in Scotland. • The father of evolution • Most famous for his travels on the Beagle to the Galapagos Islands. • “Survival of the fittest”. • Wrote The Origin of Species.

  5. History • 19th Century - Charles Darwin. • Francis Galton: In the “ law of universal regression” “ each peculiarity in a man is shared by his kinsman, but on average to a lesser degree”. • Karl Peterson & Andrew Lee (statisticians) survey 1000 fathers and sons height. • Using this data set Galton, Peterson and Lee formulated regression analyses.

  6. Regression Models • Dependant variable (of interest). Usually donated by y • One, or more, independent variable on which the dependant variable is related in a specific manner. Usually donated by x, x1, x2, etc.

  7. Common Types of Regression • Simple linear regression: y=b0+b1x • Non-linear regression: y=b0+b1x+b2x2; y=ex; y=ln(x) • Multiple regression: y=b0+b1x1+b2x2

  8. Nitrogen application v Seed yield

  9. Nitrogen application v Seed yield b1 bo Y = bo + b1x

  10. Simple Linear Regression Y = bo + b1x b1 = [SP(x,y)/SS(x)] SP(x,y) = (xi-x)(yi-y) SP(x,y) = (xy) - [(x) (y)]/n SS(x) = (xi-x)2 SS(x) = (x2) - [(x)]2/n

  11. Simple Linear Regression Y = bo + b1x bo = mean(y) = b1x mean(x)

  12. Linear regression example • Sex-linked mutations in Drosophila. • x-variable is dosage of radiation (1000’s rads). • y-variable is the percentage of mutation observed in Drosphila populations.

  13. Mutation Frequency in Drosophila

  14. Linear Regression Example

  15. Linear Regression Example SS(x) = (xi2)-[(xi)]2/n 39.25 - (11.5)2/5 12.800 Mean (y) = (yi)/n 11.5/5 2.30

  16. Linear Regression Example SS(x,y) = (xiyi)-[(xi) (yi)]/n 89.35 - (11.5 x 26.3)/5 28.860 b1 = SP(x,y)/SS(x) 28.860/12.800 = 2.255 b0 = y - b1x 5.26 - 2.255 x 2.30 = 0.735

  17. Mutation Frequency in Drosophila Y = 0.0735 + 2.255 x

  18. Analysis of Variance ~ Regression • Total variation of the dependant variable (the one of interest). • Partition into variation accountable by the regression model (linear or other): Sum of squares for regression. • Other, non-explaiable variation: Residual sum of squares.

  19. Linear Regression Example Total SS = SS(y) = (yi2)-[(yi)]2/n 204.11 - (26.3)2/5 = 65.772 Regression SS = [SP(x,y)]2/SS(x) [28.860]2/12.800 = 65.070 Residual SS [2Res] = Total SS - Regression SS 65.772 - 65.070 = 0.702

  20. Analysis of Variance Regression Residual can be tested if observations are replicated

  21. t-test and regression

  22. t-tests and Regression Is the regression slope significantly greater than zero? t = b-0/se(b) b/se(b) se(b) = {[SS(y) - [b1 SP(x,y)]]/[(n-2)SS(x)] {[65.772 - [2.255 x 28.860]]/[(3 x 12.800] = 0.134

  23. t-tests and Regression Things to Note se(b) = {[SS(y) - [b1 SP(x,y)]]/[(n-2)SS(x)] [SS(y) - [b1 SP(x,y)]] = Residual SS [SS(y) - [b1 SP(x,y)]]/(n-2) = Residual MSq se(b) = [Residual MSq/SS(x)] = [2Res/SS(x)]

  24. t-tests and Regression Is the intercept significantly different from a? t = b0-a/se(b0) se(b0) = {2Res. [1/n + [mean(x)2/SS(x)]]} {0.234 x [1/5+[(2.32/12.800]]} = 0.378

  25. Predicting the dependant variable!

  26. Predicting the Dependant Variable Y = 0.0735 + 2.255 x At x = 2.5 - 1000 Rads y = 0.073 + 2.255 x 2.5 = 5.7105 How accurate is this estimation? - se(yp) = {2 [1+1/n+(xp-x)2/SS(x)]}

  27. Linear Regression Example Predicting at x = 2.5 se(yp) = {0.234 [1+1/5+(2.5-2.3)2/12.800]} se(yp) = 0.531 yp = 5.7105 + 0.531

  28. Linear Regression Example Predicting at x = 4.5 se(yp) = {0.234 [1+1/5+(4.5-2.3)2/12.800]} se(yp) = 0.663 yp = 10.2205 + 0.663
