## Abstract We present a new method, the δ‐centralization (DC) method, to correct for population stratification (PS) in case‐control association studies. DC works well even when there is a lot of confounding due to PS. The latter causes overdispersion in the usual chi‐square statistics which then h

## Abstract Nonparametric approaches have been developed that are able to analyze large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in modest sample sizes. These approaches have different selection features and may not provide similar results when applied to the same dataset. Therefore, we co
