The eigen higher criticism and eigen Berk–Jones tests for multiple trait association studies based on GWAS summary statistics
The eigen higher criticism and eigen Berk–Jones tests for multiple trait association studies based on GWAS summary statistics
Abstract In this article, we propose the eigen higher criticism and the eigen Berk–Jones testing procedures to test...
A Bayesian hierarchically structured prior for gene‐based association testing with multiple traits in genome‐wide association studies
A Bayesian hierarchically structured prior for gene‐based association testing with multiple traits in genome‐wide association studies
Abstract Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) often collect data on multiple correlated traits for complex dise...

Covariate adjusted inference of parent‐of‐origin effects using case–control mother–child paired multilocus genotype data
Covariate adjusted inference of parent‐of‐origin effects using case–control mother–child paired multilocus genotype data
Abstract It is of great interest to identify parent-of-origin effects (POEs) since POEs play an important role in many hum...
Taking population stratification into account by local permutations in rare‐variant association studies on small samples
Taking population stratification into account by local permutations in rare‐variant association studies on small samples
Abstract Many methods for rare variant association studies require permutations to assess the significance of tests. Stand...
