I was a guest speaker in the Wellcome Genome Campus Advanced Course “Genetic Analysis of Mendelian and Complex Disorders”, where I gave a (virtual) talk on Statistical Methods for Analysis of Correlated Data. This talk features a computationally efficient method for estimating variance components in linear mixed models. The method is illustrated on two examples, one on genome-wide association analysis and the other on gene set analysis. For more details about the method, check out this paper.
