Assuming that's about as clear as mud to you, let's restate that using statistics you're probably more familiar with...a T-test. Suppose you have two experimental groups (we'll use human males and females) and perform a measurement on them (in this case, we'll just measure their height). If

you were to graph the results you'd probably see that the males tend to be a bit taller than the females. If you calculated the mean of each group and subtracted them, then the result would be the expected difference in height due to gender. The is a simple example of a beta value. But of course unless you measured the height from ALL of the males and females in the world, then this isn't an exact value (even ignoring measurement error). Rather, since we only measured a subset of all people there's some error associated due to our sampling. This ends up becoming the standard error of the measurement. In the case of a T-Test, you can divide the beta value by the standard error and you have your T-statistic, which you would then use to find a p-value. The methods used to get the beta and SE values are rather more complicated for GWAS, of course, but the underlying principles are the same. So as with the height example, the beta value and its error give you an idea of the effect size. A p-value is nice, but you also want to know if it's associated with a small but very consistent (and if it's really really small, do you even care about it?) or large but highly variable effect.

Here the ordinary least squares method is used to construct the regression line describing this law. In statistics, ordinary least squares (OLS) or linear least squares is a method for estimating the unknown parameters in a linear regression model, with the goal of minimizing the sum of the squares of the differences between the observed responses in the given dataset and those predicted by a linear function of a set of explanatory variables (visually this is seen as the sum of the vertical distances between each data point in the set and the corresponding point on the regression line - the smaller the di

It contains the names of the items in the equation and labels each row of output. The Unstandardized coefficients (B) are the standard error of regression coefficients. The regression equation is STRENGTH = -13.971 + 3.016 LBM The predicted muscle strength of someone with 40 kg of lean body mass is -13.971 + 3.016 (40) = 106.669 For cross-sectional data like these, the regression coefficient for the predictor is the difference in response per unit difference in the predictor. For longitudinal data, the regression coefficient is the change in response per unit change in the predictor. Here, strength differs 3.016 units for every unit difference in lean body mass. The distinction between cross-sectional and longitudinal data is still important. These strength data are cross-sectional so differences in LBM and strength refer to differences between people. If we wanted to describe how an individual's muscle strength changes with lean body mass, we would have to measure strength and lean body mass as they change within people. The Standard Errors are the standard errors of the regression coefficients. They can be used for hypothesis testing

What is a 'Standard Error' A standard error is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic. Standard error is a statistical term that measures the accuracy with which a sample represents a population. In statistics, a sample mean deviates from the actual mean of a population; this deviation is the standard error. BREAKING DOWN 'Standard Error' The term "standard error" is used to refer to the standard deviation of various sample statistics such as the mean or median. For example, the "standard error of the mean" refers to the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means taken from a population. The smaller the standard error, the more representative the sample will be of the overall population.The standard error is also inversely proportional to the sample size; the larger the sample size, the smaller the standard error because the statistic will approach the actual value.The standard error is considered part of descriptive statistics. It represents the standard deviation of the mean within a dataset. This serves as a measure of variation for random variables, providing a measurement for the spread. The smaller the spread, the more accurate the dataset is said to be.Standard Error and Population SamplingWhen a population is sampled, the mean, or average, is generally calculated. The standard error can include the variation between the calculated mean of the population and once which is considered known, or accepted as accurate. This helps compensate for any incidental inaccuracies related the gathering of the sample.In cases where multiple samples are collected, th
