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;
