Fig. 7

Critical \(R^2\) for \(p=5\times 10^{-8}\) at power = 0.8 as a function of prior strength and population size. Colors indicate contour lines of equal power to detect an effect in the context of GWAS. Power changes rapidly left-to-right, reflecting the strong dependence of power on population size. Power changes very slowly bottom-to-top, reflecting the weak ability of priors to boost power
