Kuvaus

  1. Statistical concepts in genome-wide analyses: From significance and power to probability of association.
  2. Genetic population structure, confounders and covariates.
  3. Statistical fine-mapping via variable selection.
  4. Most recent methods for biobank-scale data sets including linear and logistic mixed models for 10^5 individuals x 10^7 genetic variants x 10^3 outcome measurements.
