HW 1B (10 pts)

Run the logistic regression simulation code we discussed in class.

a). Annotate each step with an explanation of what it is doing.

b) Experiment with multiple values for the parameters, minor allele frequencies, and sample sizes. Comment on what you find.

c) The results (the output from R) with interpretation of what the estimates, standard errors, zscores, and p-values mean.

d) What’s the minimum sample size that yields a significant

You are asked to turn in a

a) Knittable markdown document (5 points)

By knittable I mean that Anqi should simple load the Rmd in her Rstudio and click the knit button which should generate a nice HTML file viewable within Rstudio or with a web browser.

b) the Rmd should be annotated, explaining what is being done (5 points)
