A similar analysis of the rates of ACR Pedi 30 responses did not show significant differences for either treatment (leflunomide group, 79 percent at both 16 and 48 weeks; P=1.00; methotrexate group, 91 percent at both 16 and 48 weeks; P=1.00).
qw stands for 'Quote word'. It usually used to create array. Ex. @arr = qw/one two three/; This will create an array with elements one, two and three. Instead of '/' symbol, any other symbol can be used. Ex. @arr = qw #one two three#; @arr = qw %one two three%; If using brackets as symbol, we have the option to use open and closing braces on either end. Ex. @arr = qw [one two three]; or, @arr = qw{one two three}; or, @arr = qw (one two three); Note: Each space considered as seperator for new element.
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis is a statistical method that links two types of informationâphenotypic data (trait measurements) and genotypic data (usually molecular markers)âin an attempt to explain the genetic basis of variation in complex traits (Falconer & Mackay, 1996; Kearsey, 1998; Lynch & Walsh, 1998).
