Abstract excerpt
Variance component models have gained popularity for genetic analyses, driven by their flexibility to simultaneously analyze multiple genetic variants in a gene by kernel statistics, and their ability to account for population stratification via genomic relationship matrices. For exploratory analyses with modest sample sizes and a potentially large number of variance components, it can be challenging to use...
