Gene-dropping vs. empirical variance estimation for allele-sharing linkage statistics.

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we compare the statistical properties of a number of methods for estimating P-values for allele-sharing statistics in non-parametric linkage analysis. Some of the methods are based on the normality assumption, using different variance estimation methods, and others use simulation (gene-dropping) to find empirical distributions of the test statistics. For variance estimation methods, we consider the...
