Performance of the 4 analytical methods in related samples with various polygenic variances

Polygenic variances
0.2 0.3 0.4
Power, %
 SAT 85.6 85.2 83.6
 ELRTP 84.9 85.1 83.8
 ELRTR 84.7 84.5 84.6
 GC 82.7 81.9 81.8
Type I error rates, %
 SAT 4.8 5.5 7.0
 ELRTP 3.0 3.4 3.5
 ELRTR 3.0 3.0 3.0
 GC 4.1 5.0 5.5

SAT = Simple association test without correcting for cryptic relatedness; ELRTP = extended likelihood ratio test using PLINK inferred kinship coefficients; ELRTR = extended likelihood ratio test using real kinship coefficients; GC = genomic control.
