Experimental Designs for Reliable Detection of Linkage Disequilibrium in Unstructured Random Population Association Studies
TL;DR: It is shown that large sample sizes are needed to detect small-effect genes with a respectable-sized Bayes factor, and to have good power to detect a QTL allele at low frequency it is necessary to have a marker with similar allele frequency near the gene.

Incomplete block designs for the minimisation of order and carry-over effects in sensory analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the cyclic structure of cyclic block designs is used to obtain designs balanced for order effects and nearly balanced for carry-over effects, and a computer intensive discrete optimisation method which can be used when a cyclic design is not possible.

Bayesian Methods for Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping Based on Model Selection: Approximate Analysis Using the Bayesian Information Criterion
TL;DR: In this article, an approximate method for the analysis of quantitative trait loci based on model selection from multiple regression models with trait values regressed on marker genotypes, using a modification of the easily calculated Bayesian information criterion to estimate the posterior probability of models with various subsets of markers as variables.
