Figure 2. Plots of power (solid lines) and coverage (dotted line) for increasing sample sizes of cases and controls (x-axis).

From left to right plots are given for increasing effect sizes (relative risk per allele). Both power and coverage range from 0 to 1 and are given on the y-axis. Results are for single-marker test of association and for simulations where the risk allele frequency of the causal allele is >0.05. The top row shows power for case-control studies simulated in a Caucasian population based on the CEU HapMap panel. The bottom row relates to case-control studies simulated from the YRI HapMap panel.
