Power of a reproducing kernel-based method for testing the joint effect of a set of single-nucleotide polymorphisms.

Abstract excerpt

This study explored a semi-parametric method built upon reproducing kernels for estimating and testing the joint effect of a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The kernel adopted is the identity-by-state kernel that measures SNP similarity between subjects. In this article, through simulations we first assessed its statistical power under different situations. It was found that in addition to the...
