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 Hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP) to support interpretation of the main results."
