Dependent variable

Definition
AI-generated

Outcome modeled against predictors—the phenotype or liability proxy in association regression.

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

"In the primary regression, the Dependent variable was standardized trait value after quality control."
