Real Data Analysis.

Results from GWAS analysis for the trait LDL. The first three columns provide the identifier, chromosome and position of each SNP detected by AR with a penalty mBIC(10). Here 10 is the a priori expected number of causal SNPs whereas the standard mBIC uses c = 4. The last three columns show the p-values of marginal tests including covariates as specified in the text, the two SNPs selected by standard mBIC and finally information about the SNPs reported by Sabatti et al. [36]. The symbol • refers to exactly the same SNP, * marks two SNPs which are in close proximity to rs693 reported in [36], and # is one representative of a region on chromosome 11 for which [36] reports 5 significant SNPs.
