CAST, C-alpha test, SKAT
- CAST
- cohort allelic sum test
- collapses information on all rare variants within a region
- C-alpha test
- non-burden-based method
- robust to the direction and magnitude of effect
- not easy to adjust for covariates, incl. population stratification
- SKAT
- regression, relatively easy to adjust for covariates
- supervised test for the joint effects of multiple variants in a region on a phenotype
- 複数の多型箇所について、その強さを表す対角行列として線形代数の枠組みでとりあつかう
- C-alpha testの一般化がSKAT
- 共変量なし、フェノタイプは2値、サイトの重みが一律、これがC-alpha test
- RのパッケージSKAT
