A multivariate family-based association test using generalized estimating equations: FBAT-GEE.
In this paper we propose a multivariate extension of family-based association tests based on generalized estimating equations. The test can be applied to multiple phenotypes and to phenotypic data obtained in longitudinal studies without making any distributional assumptions for the phenotypic observations. Methods for handling missing phenotypic information are discussed. Further, we compare t...
متن کاملA family-based robust multivariate association test using maximum statistic.
For characterizing the genetic mechanisms of complex diseases familial data with multiple correlated quantitative traits are usually collected in genetic studies. To analyze such data, various multivariate tests have been proposed to investigate the association between the underlying disease genes and the multiple traits. Although these multivariate association tests may have better power perfo...
متن کاملA generalized family-based association test for dichotomous traits.
Recent advances in genotyping technology make it possible to utilize large-scale association analysis for disease-gene mapping. Powerful and robust family-based association methods are crucial for successful gene mapping. We propose a family-based association method, the generalized disequilibrium test (GDT), in which the genotype differences of all discordant relative pairs are utilized in ass...
متن کاملA Generalized Estimating Equations
When inferences focus on population averages, one can directly model all of the marginal expectations E(Yij) = μij in terms of covariates of interest. This is typically done via h(μij) = x ′ ijβ, with h(·) some known link function, such as the logit link for binary responses. The marginal variance depends on the marginal mean according to Var(Yij) = v(μij)φ, where v(·) is a known variance funct...
متن کاملAccident Prediction Models With and Without Trend: Application of the Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) Procedure
Accident prediction models (APMs) are very useful tools for estimating the expected number of accidents on entities such as intersections and road sections. These estimates are typically used in the identification of sites for possible safety treatment and in the evaluation of such treatments. An APM is, in essence, a mathematical equation that expresses the average accident frequency of a site...
