Rank-based robust tests for quantitative-trait genetic association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Standard linear regression is commonly used for genetic association studies of quantitative traits. This approach may not be appropriate if the trait, on its original or transformed scales, does not follow a normal distribution. A rank-based nonparametric approach that does not rely on any distributional assumptions can be an attractive alternative. Although several nonparametric tests exist in the literature,...
