The results of analyzing Type 2 diabetes data set by using the five methods

Methods Results
SMT The four most significant SNPs
rs5210 rs7577088 rs7252268 rs8192691
Unadjusted P-value 0.0014 0.0023 0.0055 0.01
Adjusted P-value 0.14 0.25 0.50 0.75
HT-SFS Final marker-set contains 10 SNPs with IDs rs7577088, rs5400, rs3755863, rs8192680, rs1042044, rs5210, rs3136540, rs1051690, rs7252268, rs2071197; P-value = 0.08 for testing the association between the 10 SNPs and the trait
CSM The best marker-set contains two SNPs, rs5210 and rs2276931; P-value = 0.145
FITF Two most significant SNPs in marginal tests and tests in stage 2
Marginal tests Tests in stage 2
rs5210 rs7577088 rs3842752 and rs7577088
Unadjusted P-value 9 × 10−4 1.7 × 10−3 3.36 × 10−4
5% significance cutoff 1.6 × 10−4 1.1 × 10−5
Adjusted P-value >0.05 >0.05 >0.05
ELA 11 SNPs (see Fig. 3, Tables SI and SII for details) in the final marker-set; P-value = 0.01 for testing the association between the 11 SNPs and the trait

SNPs, single nucleotide polymorphisms; SMT, single-marker test; HT-SFS, Hotelling’s T with the sequence-forward-selection; CSM, combinatorial searching method; FITF, focused interaction testing framework; ELA, ensemble learning approach.
