Text

We will for simplicity refer to the index event as incidence, although our arguments also apply to selection or adjustment for a quantitative trait11. Similarly, we will refer to subsequent events as prognosis, with the understanding that this could refer to any phenotype subsequent to, and not a cause of, the index event.
