Analysis of variance (ANOVA)¶
Definition
AI-generated
Partitioning total variance into between-group and within-group components via F-tests; common in lab and pathway-style factor experiments adjacent to genetics.
Why it matters in GWAS¶
Statistical concepts underpin GWAS significance, effect estimation, relatedness random effects, multiple testing, fine-mapping priors, and post-GWAS multivariate methods.
Example usage¶
"We ran ANOVA to test whether mean expression differed across treatment arms before conducting SNP-by-treatment interaction analysis."
