Robust statistical tests of genetic association for the case- control study design
1 The central theme in case-control genetic association studies is to efficiently identify genetic markers associated with case-control status. Powerful statistical methods are critical to accomplishing this goal. A popular statistical method is the model-free Pearson's chi-square test. To achieve increased power, model-based tests have been widely used despite their lack of robustness to model...

متن کاملCombining genetic association study designs: a GWAS case study
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) explore the relationship between genome variability and disease susceptibility with either population- or family-based data. Here, we have evaluated the utility of combining population- and family-based statistical association tests and have proposed a method for reducing the burden of multiple testing. Unrelated singleton and parent-offspring trio cases a...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Four Evolutionary Algorithms for Economic and Economic-Statistical Designs of MEWMA Control Charts
The multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart is one of the best statistical control chart that are usually used to detect simultaneous small deviations on the mean of more than one cross-correlated quality characteristics. The economic design of MEWMA control charts involves solving a combinatorial optimization model that is composed of a nonlinear cost function ...
متن کاملExploring case-control genetic association tests using phase diagrams
BACKGROUND By a new concept called "phase diagram", we compare two commonly used genotype-based tests for case-control genetic analysis, one is a Cochran-Armitage trend test (CAT test at x=0.5, or CAT0.5) and another (called MAX2) is the maximization of two Chi-square test results: one from the two-by-two genotype count table that combines the baseline homozygotes and heterozygotes, and another...
