Table 1. Rejection rates (type I errors for JLIM and conditional, power for coloc and HEIDI).

q = 13. 1000 iterations. α = 0.05. The correlation is -0.69 between SNP 1 and SNP 3, 0.68 between SNP 1 and SNP 4, 0.02 between SNP 1 and SNP 5, -0.35 between SNP 4 and SNP 5. Different subjects for two traits. For CMC, B = 104. For MA, B = 103, u = 10 and s = 1.

* The tuning parameter θ was chosen as 0.05 (0.1) [0.2].

** When there was no causal location for trait 2, HEIDI sometimes output NA (after detecting the violation of its assumptions). We thus recorded two ratios A (B). A: #rejected/#non-NA results. (B): #rejected/#iterations.
