See Table 1 for a description of settings 1 and 2. Threshold represents the empirical chromosomewise threshold calculated for 1000 replicates. Test statistic is the mean and standard deviation of the maximum of the LR test for the 100 replicates. Power is the percentage of replicates with maximum LR exceeding the empirical threshold. —, simulations are not performed under these conditions.
