Abstract excerpt
Next-generation sequencing technology will soon allow sequencing the whole genome of large groups of individuals, and thus will make directly testing rare variants possible. Currently, most of existing methods for rare variant association studies are essentially testing the effect of a weighted combination of variants with different weighting schemes. Performance of these methods depends on the weights being used...
