Examples

  • I must confess that I find interaction terms where one of the variables is not a dummy variable fairly bewildering (which is driving which? what about the induced colinearity?).

    The Turner Hypothesis in Comparative Perspective 2009

  • In contrast to the colinearity hypothesis that a continuous nucleic acid sequence generated an amino acid chain, it became apparent that stretches of DNA were often split between coding regions (exons) and non-coding regions (introns).

  • Here, for example, colinearity and overfitting induce considerable error already in the estimation phase.

    Bürger and Cubasch « Climate Audit 2006

  • I've recently described work that shows that, in some organisms, colinearity breaks down.

    The Panda's Thumb: September 2006 Archives 2006

  • That colinearity seems to be a consequence of a primitive pattern of regulation that coupled the timing of development to the spatial arrangements of the tissues, and many organisms have evolved more sophisticated control of these patterning genes, making the old regulators obsolete…and allowing the clusters to break up without extreme consequences to the animal.

  • Canonically, that order of expression along the body axis corresponds to the order of the genes in a cluster on the DNA, a property called colinearity.
