Definition
AI-generated

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

"Stratified plots grouped participants by Quartile to visualize gradient effects across the phenotype distribution."
