Hypothesis Testing in GWAS and Statistical Issues with Compensation in Clinical Trials

We first show theoretically and in simulation how power varies as a function of SNP correlation structure with currently-implemented gene-based testing methods. We propose alternative testing methods whose power does not vary with the correlation structure. We then propose hypothesis tests for det...
