Type of Weight: |
Select this Option To: |
Weighted Sum |
Apply the weights described by Madsen and Browning (2009). These weights are proportional to the inverse of the standard deviation of allele counts. |
Annotation Weight Variable |
Use other user-generated weights, such as those obtained from Polyphen-2 scores as in Price et al. (2010). These weights can be assigned to each variant, included in the Annotation SAS Data Set. Note: A weight variable must be specified in the Annotation Weight Variable field. |
None |
Give equal weight to each variant. This option is only in effect for regression-based models or the CMAT model |
