Q. Which allele is effect allele?
Q. Which allele is effect allele?
A. EMMAX simply follows the encoding scheme of .tped file in additive model. So whichever allele encoded as 1 in the .tped file, it will be the effect allele (usually the major allele)

A. We believe that BN matrix is more robust to construct the empirical kinship matrix. Also we recommend to use call rate 95% threshold and MAF threshold of 0.01 when preparing the data.

=== NaN in the kinship file ===
Q. I am observing a series of -nan in the kinship matrix. What is the problem?
A. Most likely, monomorphic SNPs would create such a problem. Typically, MAF threshold such as 1% is used.
