Saple Size, Power & Tresolds review of saple size for t-test (known QTL) saple size, arker spacing & power Zeng talk at Plant & Anial Genoe XI, 2003 (statgen.ncsu.edu/zeng/qtlpower-presentation.pdf) QTL tresolds & genoe-wide error rates positive false detection rates selection bias c Broan, Curcill, Yandell, Zeng review saple size for t-test set up test under "null ypotesis" of no QTL two-sided test for difference size arbitrary--usually α =.05 deterine power or saple size under alternative power = cance to reject null if alternative true saple size (n/4 per MM,) follows square root idea µ MM µ d t = = σ 8/ n SE size/2 : pr( µ µ > c no QTL) = α / 2 power : pr( µ MM µ > c QTL) = 1 β MM 2 n = 2[( zα / 2 + zβ ) σ / d] c Broan, Curcill, Yandell, Zeng 2
