Robust and powerful tests for rare variants using Fisher's method to combine evidence of association from two or more complementary tests.

Abstract excerpt

Many association tests have been proposed for rare variants, but the choice of a powerful test is uncertain when there is limited information on the underlying genetic model. Proposed methods use either linear statistics, which are powerful when most variants are causal and have the same direction of effect, or quadratic statistics, which are more powerful in other scenarios. To achieve robustness, it is natural...
