Joint ancestry and association testing in admixed individuals. by Daniel Shriner, Adebowale Adeyemo, Charles N Rotimi

“…In both stages, we use generalized linear models, providing the advantage that the joint test can be used with any phenotype distribution with an appropriate link function. To define the alternative densities for admixture mapping and association mapping, we describe a method based on autocorrelation to empirically estimate the testing burdens of admixture mapping and association mapping. …”
