Logistic regression protects against population structure in genetic association studies

Table 8.

Empirical power and total number of false positives generated by each method over 50 simulated data sets simulated under Scenario 2 but with 2000 cases, 2000 controls, and genotype relative risks 1:1.4:1.6
