Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Quick assessment for systematic test statistic inflation/deflation due to null model misspecifications in genome-wide environment interaction studies.

Article Description
Gene-environment (GxE) interaction is one potential explanation for the missing heritability problem. A popular approach to genome-wide environment interaction studies (GWEIS) is based on regression models involving interactions between genetic variants and environment variables. Unfortunately, GWEIS encounters systematically inflated (or deflated) test statistics more frequently than a marginal association study. The problematic behavior may occur due to poor specification of the null model (i.e. the model without genetic effect) in GWEIS. Improved null model specification may resolve the problem, but the investigation requires many time-consuming analyses of genome-wide scans, e.g. by trying out several transformations of the phenotype. It is therefore helpful if we can predict such problematic behavior beforehand. We present a simple closed-form formula to assess problematic behavior of GWEIS under the null hypothesis of no genetic effects. It requires only phenotype, environment variables, and covariates, enabling quick identification of systematic test statistic inflation or deflation. Applied to real data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), our formula identified problematic studies from among hundreds GWEIS considering each metabolite as the environment variable in GxE interaction. Our formula is useful to quickly identify problematic GWEIS without requiring a genome-wide scan.
