Table 5.

Scenarios that could occur across the genome with the optimal method of selection.

Structured Phenotype
(K1 ≠ K2)
Non-Structured Phenotype
(K1 = K2)
Structured Genotype
(p1≠ p2)
Any method of selection except no PC adjustment Selecting a fixed number of PCs or PCs associated with the SNP

Non-Structured Genotype
(p1 = p2)
Selecting PCs associated with the SNP (α = 0.01), 10% Rule, no PC adjustment Any method of selection

p1 and p2 are the allele frequencies in population 1 and 2, respectively. K1 and K2 are the frequency of disease in population 1 and 2, respectively.
