Cross-validation

Definition
AI-generated

Data splitting scheme training models on subsets and evaluating on held-out folds; standard for PRS tuning and prediction benchmarks.

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

"Model performance was reported with repeated cross-validation to estimate out-of-sample error more reliably."
