Table 3.

Average test output from four types of logistic regression on 1,000 simulated datasets: one ignoring adversity (model I); one controlling for the additive effect of adversity (model II); one additionally incorporating an interaction between genotype and adversity (model III); and finally a model which analyzes adversity-exposed and unexposed cohorts separately (model IV).

For each row, Z statistic (Z Stat), odds ratio, and P-value are shown for SNP effect (g), adversity effect (s), or an interaction effect (g:s). The three columns on the left (Without Etiologic Heterogeneity) show results for simulations of no etiologic heterogeneity between simulated phenotype in samples with and without adversity; the three columns on the right show that for simulations with heterogeneity. Data was simulated using a liability threshold model with realistic ascertainment, effect-sizes and allele frequencies (Supplemental Methods).
