Bernoulli distribution

Definition
AI-generated

Single-trial {0,1} model with success probability p—building block for binomial counts of reference alleles.

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

"Case status at baseline was modeled with a Bernoulli distribution (0/1) before fitting logistic regression."
