Comparison of p Value Thresholds from Four Multiple Testing Correction Procedures in WHI SHARe African American (AA) and Hispanic American (HA) Samples

Bonferroni (# Tests) Simulation (10,000 reps)
Analytic Approximation
Traits Test Statistics
AA 9.1×108 2.1×105 2.1×105 2.0×105
(95% CI) (1.9,2.3)×105 (1.9,2.2)×105
HA 3.1×108 4.3×106 4.5×106 n/a
(95% CI) (4.0,4.6)×106 (3.9,4.9)×106

For simulation-based approaches, we also provide a 95% bootstrap confidence interval. Both simulation-based approaches used 10,000 replications. The nominal genome-wide type I error rate (α) is 0.05.
