Hidden Markov model (HMM)

Definition
AI-generated

Latent Markovian state sequence generates emissions—used in CNV detection and ancient haplotype reconstruction.

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 statistical section applies Hidden Markov model (HMM) to evaluate fit and robustness of key inferences."
