We report Power, average number of false positives (FP) and false discovery rate (FDR). The square brackets report a mean distance to a simulated QTL and a mean value of |β^iβi|. A fixed effects model and a mixed model with μ = 0 are additionally supplemented with the first 3 or 10 PCs of the incidence matrix X.
