risk of 1.5. However, if we were to include many more axes of genetic variation without selection, we would expect larger differences in the false-positive error rate and power between approaches, particularly in the absence of population structure. Therefore, one clear advantage of the selection approach is that we can test large numbers of axes of genetic variation and include only those relevant to disease association, thus minimizing any loss in power.
