Abstract excerpt
A popular method for the analysis of case-control association studies is to compare the frequencies of the alleles between cases and controls by means of Pearson's chi2-statistic. Here, an approach for computing the power of this test is presented, which by computer simulation is shown to be more reliable than a previously published power approximation. Since the test based on Pearson's chi2- statistic can be...
