Note.—Rejection rates under the null hypothesis at a biallelic candidate marker whose allele frequencies in subpopulations 1 and 2 are given by p1 and p2, respectively. We show estimated rejection rates at the .05, .01, 10−3 and 10 −4 significance levels for the STRAT, the TDT, and the standard χ2 test. The χ2 test is valid where p1=p2. Results are based on at least 50,000 replicates (P=.01, .05), 200,000 replicates (P=10-3), and 350,000 replicates (P=10-4).
