Genetic linkage
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have reverted your recent edit to Genetic linkage because it was misleading. According to the cited paper, "an exact genomewide significance threshold of P=.05 is achieved at a pointwise P value of P=4.9×10-5, which is equivalent to a LOD score of ∼3.3." It also states that "other regions of potential interest may be identified using a nominal pointwise threshold of P=.05, which is equivalent to a LOD score of 0.5875." So, a LOD of approximately 3 is significant, whereas a LOD of 0.59 is potentially interesting but not significant because of the multiple comparisons problem. Please feel free to reply here if you'd like to discuss it further. —Remember the dot (talk) 21:37, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

PS When I reverted the edit, I accidentally typed "a LOD of 0.5875 only corresponds to a p-value of 3 if you ignore the multiple comparisons problem" when I meant to say "a LOD of 0.5875 only corresponds to a p-value of 0.05 if you ignore the multiple comparisons problem". Sorry for the mistake. —Remember the dot (talk) 21:41, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
