| Abstract | The present study assesses the effects of genotyping errors on the type I error rate of a particular transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT(std)), which assumes that data are errorless, and introduces a new transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT(ae)) that allows for random genotyping errors. We evaluate the type I error rate and power of the TDT(ae) under a variety of simulations and perform a power comparison between the TDT(std) and the TDT(ae), for errorless data. Both the TDT(std) and the TDT(ae) statistics are computed as two times a log-likelihood difference, and both are asymptotically distributed as chi(2) with 1 df. Genotype data for trios are simulated under a null hypothesis and under an alternative (power) hypothesis. For each simulation, errors are introduced randomly via a computer algorithm with different probabilities (called 'allelic error rates'). The TDT(std) statistic is computed on all trios that show Mendelian consistency, whereas the TDT(ae) statistic is computed on all trios. The results indicate that TDT(std) shows a significant increase in type I error when applied to data in which inconsistent trios are removed. This type I error increases both with an increase in sample size and with an increase in the allelic error rates. TDT(ae) always maintains correct type I error rates for the simulations considered. Factors affecting the power of the TDT(ae) are discussed. Finally, the power of TDT(std) is at least that of TDT(ae) for simulations with errorless data. Because data are rarely error free, we recommend that researchers use methods, such as the TDT(ae), that allow for errors in genotype data. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
