 Estimation was based on 10 000 iterations, the rejection rates were summarized in panel (a). In panel (b), we presented the mean value and variance of the 10 000 lambdas obtained in the 10 000 times simulation. Caucasian, Caucasian samples collected by Coriell Institute. Utah, Caucasian samples collected by CEPH lab.
