Sampling distribution

Definition
AI-generated

Distribution of a statistic under repeated random sampling—justifies standard errors, z-scores, and asymptotic GLMM theory.

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 section includes Sampling distribution to support interpretation of the primary findings."
