Hazard

Definition
AI-generated

Instantaneous event rate at time *t* conditional on survival to *t* in survival analysis; proportional hazards models relate covariates to this intensity.

Why it matters in GWAS

Epidemiologic measures and designs frame how phenotypes, sampling, and time-to-event endpoints are defined—directly affecting GWAS interpretation, meta-analysis, and translation.

Example usage

"A replication analysis checks whether Hazard assumptions hold across cohorts."
