Table 2. Type I error rates of four tests in a homogenous population and in the case of no population stratification for qualitative traits.
| Population Structures | Test | Alpha | Un-corrected | GC | PC-linear | PC-nonp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A Homogenous Population | SingleVariant | 0.01 | 0.0131 | 0.0076 | 0.0129 | 0.01178 |
| 0.001 | 0.00168 | 0.00112 | 0.00182 | 0.00172 | ||
| Regional | 0.01 | 0.00992 | 0.00958 | 0.00992 | 0.0121 | |
| 0.001 | 0.00124 | 0.00116 | 0.00122 | 0.00162 | ||
| No Population Stratification | SingleVariant | 0.01 | 0.01082 | 0.0053 | 0.01 | 0.0079 |
| 0.001 | 0.00169 | 0.0007 | 0.00162 | 0.0014 | ||

| 0.001 | 0.00178 | 0.00138 | 0.00166 | 0.00134 |
Note: “A homogenous population” means k0 = 1 in simulation set 1; “no population stratification” means model 0 in simulation set 2.
