A comparison of the likelihood ratio test and the variance-stabilising transformation-based tests for detecting association of rare variants.

Abstract excerpt

In a recent paper in this journal, the use of variance-stabilising transformation techniques was proposed to overcome the problem of inadequacy in normality approximation when testing association for a low-frequency variant in a case-control study. It was shown that tests based on the variance-stabilising transformations are more powerful than Fisher's exact test while controlling for type I error rate. Earlier...
