RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 An almost nearly optimal sequential testing approach to permutation-based association testing JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 186361 DO 10.1101/186361 A1 Julian Hecker A1 Ingo Ruczinski A1 Brent Coull A1 Christoph Lange YR 2017 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/09/12/186361.abstract AB The following technical report describes the technical details for the implementation of a sequential testing approach to permutation-based association testing in whole-genome sequencing studies. The sequential testing approach enables to control the probability of a type 1 and type 2 error at arbitrary small pre-specified levels and approaches the theoretical minimum of expected number of required permutations as these levels go to zero.
