Table 1.

Type I error simulation results for quantitative traits. Each cell in the table corresponds to the type I error of SKAT using a kernel constructed based on the testing procedure at the top of the table and the grouping strategy at the left of the table. Rows and columns labeled MK-SKAT correspond to the omnibus tests across tests (with fixed group) and across groupings (with fixed test). The cells with both rows and columns labeled MK-SKAT correspond to the omnibus test across all test and groupings
