Multivariate simulation framework reveals performance of multi-trait GWAS methods

Burgeoning availability of genome-wide association study (GWAS) results and national biobank data has led to growing interest in performing multi-trait genetic analyses. Numerous multi-trait GWAS methods that exploit either summary statistics or individual-level data have been developed, but their relative performance is unclear. Here we develop a simulation framework to model the complex netwo...

Powerful and Adaptive Testing for Multi-trait and Multi-SNP Associations with GWAS and Sequencing Data.

Testing for genetic association with multiple traits has become increasingly important, not only because of its potential to boost statistical power, but also for its direct relevance to applications. For example, there is accumulating evidence showing that some complex neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases like Alzheimer's disease are due to disrupted brain networks, for which it would be...

GWAS Catalog: Exploring SNP-trait associations

investigation of single-user and multi-user detection methods in mc-cdma systems and comparison of their performances

در این پایان نامه به بررسی روش های آشکارسازی در سیستم های mc-cdma می پردازیم. با توجه به ماهیت آشکارسازی در این سیستم ها، تکنیک های آشکارسازی را می توان به دو دسته ی اصلی تقسیم نمود: آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی یک کاربر مطلوب بدون در نظر گرفتن اطلاعاتی در مورد سایر کاربران تداخل کننده که از آن ها به عنوان آشکارساز های تک کاربره یاد می شود و همچنین آشکارسازی سیگنال ارسالی همه ی کاربران فعال موجود در...

Detector Simulation Framework and Performance

The CDF detector simulation framework is integrated into an AC++ application used to process events in the CDF experiment. The simulation framework is based on the GEANT3 package. It holds the detector element geometry descriptions, allows configuration of digitizers at run-time and manages the generated data. The design is based on generic programming which allows for easy extension of the sim...
