Summary statistics for 100 random 50% splits of the combined COGA-SAGE sample into discovery samples and validation samples. Sum scores were created based on SNPs meeting each p-value threshold, by adding minor alleles weighted by the log of the odds ratio for AD. Confidence intervals are based on 100 AUC estimates from 100 separate sum score calculations at each p-value threshold. Median p-value threshold was calculated because distributions of p-values were skewed.
