Table 1:

Estimates from parameters of the full heteroscedasticity model (Eqn 49) in analysis of GxE for BMI as a function of birth year in the HRS. The ξE and ξG estimates reported are obtained from the environmental and genetic heteroscedasticity models, respectively.

We consider four transformations of BMI. Std denotes the standardized mean BMI shown in the middle panel of Figure E.1. BC denotes the Box-Cox transformation [29]. BN denotes the transformation from bestNormalize [30]. Res denotes analysis of standardized variables after all (BMI, birthyear, PGS) have been residualized on 10 PCs and gender as per Frisch–Waugh–Lovell theorem given previous concerns regarding interaction research [5].

b

We show probabilities for parameters when the maximal probability in a column is larger than 1e − 6.
