In this study we discuss methods for evaluating the probability that at least one of a set of the suspect's full or half-siblings shares the suspect's DNA profile. We present three such methods: exact calculation, estimation via Monte Carlo simulations, and estimation by means of sandwiching the probability between an upper and a lower bound. We show that, under many circumstances, this upper bound itself provides an extremely quick and accurate estimate of the probability that at least one of the relatives matches the suspect's profile.}, number={2}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF LEGAL MEDICINE}, author={Anderson, AD and Weir, BS}, year={2006}, month={Mar}, pages={95–104} } @article{weir_cardon_anderson_nelson_hill_2005, title={Measures of human population structure show heterogeneity among genomic regions}, volume={15}, ISSN={1088-9051}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/gr.4398405}, DOI={10.1101/gr.4398405}, abstractNote={Estimates of genetic population structure (FST) were constructed from all autosomes in two large SNP data sets. The Perlegen data set contains genotypes on ∼1 million SNPs segregating in all three samples of Americans of African, Asian, and European descent; and the Phase I HapMap data set contains genotypes on ∼0.6 million SNPs segregating in all four samples from specific Caucasian, Chinese, Japanese, and Yoruba populations. Substantial heterogeneity of FST values was found between segments within chromosomes, although there was similarity between the two data sets. There was also substantial heterogeneity among population-specific FST values, with the relative sizes of these values often changing along each chromosome. Population-structure estimates are often used as indicators of natural selection, but the analyses presented here show that individual-marker estimates are too variable to be useful. There is inherent variation in these statistics because of variation in genealogy even among neutral loci, and values at pairs of loci are correlated to an extent that reflects the linkage disequilibrium between them. Furthermore, it may be that the best indications of selection will come from population-specific FST values rather than the usually reported population-average values.}, number={11}, journal={Genome Research}, publisher={Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory}, author={Weir, B.

Samples were analyzed using a controlled stress rheometer equipped with a pressurized sealed cell, permitting measurements well above standard boiling conditions. Individual samples were sheared between 10 and 160 s−1, and predictive equations were developed to predict Newtonian viscosity as a function of temperature and carrageenan concentration. The superpositioning technique coupled with advancements in rheological instrumentation permits high temperature measurements and offers a strategy for viscosity determination for thermal processing unit operations.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE}, author={Anderson, AD and Daubert, CR and Farkas, BE}, year={2002}, month={Mar}, pages={649–652} }
