Fig. 2From: A statistical model for the analysis of beta values in DNA methylation studiesResults obtained from the first part of the simulation study. The plots show the differences in the estimated rejection rates of the null hypothesis “ H 0:γ gender=0”, as obtained from the RCG model, beta regression, and M-value regression (10,000 simulation runs). The covariate values of the HNR Study (n= 1,118) were used to generate the linear predictors X ⊤ γ. Beta values were generated from the distribution of the ratio in (9) using the sample estimates at CpG site cg00786084. High levels of the black and blue lines correspond to a high power of the RCG-based tests. The vertical gray line refers to the null hypothesis H 0 Back to article page
