Abstract excerpt
The recursive cumulative meta-analysis (RCM) of genetic association studies explores the relative change of the cumulative risk effect (e.g. OR) in time, indicating the stability of risk effect as evidence accumulates. However, the stability in risk effect is currently evaluated empirically with a graphical approach. A Monte Carlo permutation test for examining the instability in RCM is proposed. The statistic...
