Abstract:
We compare two simulation procedures used to determine empirical distributions of three affected sib-pair test-statistics in family samples with missing parental marker information. P1 and P2 procedures differ according to whether affected sibs' genotypes are ignored (P1) or accounted for (P2) to generate the unknown parental genotypes. Overall, our results show that P2 procedure performs better than P1, particularly when marker heterozygosity is high (H = 75%) or when marker data from unaffected siblings are available with low marker heterozygosity (H = 50%). These results are similar for all affected sib-pair tests.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
