Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: For genetic studies, statistically significant variants explain far less trait variance than 'sub-threshold' association signals. To dimension follow-up studies, researchers need to accurately estimate 'true' effect sizes at each SNP, e.g. the true mean of odds ratios (ORs)/regression coefficients (RRs) or Z-score noncentralities. Naïve estimates of effect sizes incur winner's curse biases, which are...
