Table 4. Summary of performance comparison for top fixed-effects models.
Methods | Comparative Power | Control of Type I Error | Control of Overlapping | Sensitivity | Specificity |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ASSET | best when Ta is small | adequate | adequate | best when opposite directional effects exist | best under most settings |
BE | performs well when Ta is not small | adequate | adequate | depends on m-value thresholds | depends on m-value thresholds |
CPASSOC | best when opposite directional effects exist | adequate | Caution needed when traits with significant genetic correlation are analyzed | intermediate | comparable to ASSET in many settings |
Ta: number of traits with non-null effects;
