Linear Regression in Genetic Association Studies
In genomic research phenotype transformations are commonly used as a straightforward way to reach normality of the model outcome. Many researchers still believe it to be necessary for proper inference. Using regression simulations, we show that phenotype transformations are typically not needed and, when used in phenotype with heteroscedasticity, result in inflated Type I error rates. We furthe...
متن کاملRobust linear regression methods in association studies
MOTIVATION It is well known that data deficiencies, such as coding/rounding errors, outliers or missing values, may lead to misleading results for many statistical methods. Robust statistical methods are designed to accommodate certain types of those deficiencies, allowing for reliable results under various conditions. We analyze the case of statistical tests to detect associations between geno...
متن کاملAlgorithms for regression and classification: robust regression and genetic association studies
Regression and classification are statistical techniques that may be used to extract rules and patterns out of data sets. Analyzing the involved algorithms comprises interdisciplinary research that offers interesting problems for statisticians and computer scientists alike. The focus of this thesis is on robust regression and classification in genetic association studies. In the context of robu...
متن کاملGenetic Association Studies in Stroke
Background and Purpose—A large number of candidate gene association studies have attempted to identify genes implicated in stroke, but there have been few replicable and robust associations reported. Summary of Review—The skantness of replicable associations partly relates to poor study design. Important methodological considerations include adequate sample size, the selection of appropriate co...
متن کاملGenetic Studies: The Linear Mixed Models in Genome-wide Association Studies
With the availability of high-density genomic data containing millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms and tens or hundreds of thousands of individuals, genetic association study is likely to identify the variants contributing to complex traits in a genome-wide scale. However, genome-wide association studies are confounded by some spurious associations due to not properly interpreting sample...
