Detection of rare variant effects in association studies: extreme values, iterative regression, and a hybrid approach

We develop statistical methods for detecting rare variants that are associated with quantitative traits. We propose two strategies and their combination for this purpose: the iterative regression strategy and the extreme values strategy. In the iterative regression strategy, we use iterative regress...
