Evaluating Strategies for Marker Ranking in Genome-wide Association Studies of Complex Traits.

The article presents a study on the comparative statistical properties of genetic marker ranking which include False Positive Report Probability (FPRP), Bayesian False-Discovery Probability (BFDP), q-values, and p-values. The study employs simulation studies for genomic regions as well as the mean square errors in genome-wide association studies. The study showed the precision of BFDP and p-values in the reconstruction of true genetic markers in the region.
