Note.— Power, the ELOD, and the ELOD per genotype were evaluated by executing 1,000 simulations for each cell. A total of 250 families, each with four offspring, were simulated. The associated SNP had MAF of 0.05 or 0.50 and explained 5% of the trait variability. The associated SNP was flanked by 50 SNPs (with 0.3-cM spacing), which were used to help infer missing genotypes. Background polygenic effects accounted for 35% of the trait variability. Simulated data sets were analyzed first using only the observed genotypes and then, again, using our expected genotype score approach.
