Heuristic

Definition
AI-generated

Practical rule or approximation without full optimality guarantees—common in QC pipelines and some clustering initializations.

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

"The methods include Heuristic to support interpretation of the main results."
