Association Tests

Use this feature to specify one or more association tests to be performed.

The Trend test is selected by default.

Available tests are described in the following table:

Test

Description

Allele

Performs Pearson chi-square tests based on alleles.

Genotype

Performs Pearson chi-square tests based on genotypes.

Trend

Performs the Cochran-Armitage trend test using additive coding (0,1,2) for genotypes homozygous for the major allele, heterozygous, and homozygous for the minor allele, respectively.

Dominant

Performs the Cochran-Armitage trend test using dominant coding (0,1,1) for genotypes homozygous for the major allele, heterozygous, and homozygous for the minor allele, respectively.

Recessive

Performs the Cochran-Armitage trend test using recessive coding (0,0,1) for genotypes homozygous for the major allele, heterozygous, and homozygous for the minor allele, respectively.

MAX

Takes the maximum absolute value of the Z-statistic for the trend, dominant, and recessive tests and simulates random normal variables the number of times specified in the Number of Simulations for MAX Test parameter to estimate the p-value for this statistic.

RaoScott_ChiSq

Computes the Rao-Scott chi-square statistic for non-continuous traits using PROC SURVEYFREQ.

Note: For the Rao-Scott tests, fixed effects and interactions effects are ignored.

Refer to the SAS PROC SURVEYFREQ documentation for more information.

RaoScott_F

Compute the Rao-Scott F statistic for non-continuous traits using PROC SURVEYFREQ.

Note: For the Rao-Scott tests, fixed effects and interactions effects are ignored.

Refer to the SAS PROC SURVEYFREQ documentation for more information.

Note: You might not see all of the association tests described here, depending on the analytical process that you are using.
