Abstract excerpt
In association mapping of quantitative traits, the F-test based on an assumed genetic model is a basic statistical tool for testing association of each candidate locus with the trait of interest. However, the true underlying genetic model is often unknown, and using an incorrect model may cause serious loss of power. For case-control studies, it is known that the combination of several tests that are optimal for...
