An Association Test for Multiple Traits Based on the Generalized Kendall’s Tau
基于广义Kendall’s Tau的多性状关联检验
In many genetics studies, especially in the investigation of mental illness and behavioral disorders, it is common for researchers to collect multiple phenotypes to characterize the complex disease of interest. It may be advantageous to analyze those phenotypic measurements simultaneously if they share a similar genetic mechanism. In this study, we present a nonparametric approach to studying multiple traits together rather than examining each trait separately. Through…
