aMean (standard deviation) of sensitivity, specificity and false-discovery rate of FBAT-LC test computed over 50 replicates of family data when 50 regions were selected in Step 1.

bMean (standard deviation) of the proportion of severity loci selected in Step 1 and detected in Step 2 by FBAT at the 5% level over 50 replicates when 50 regions were selected in Step 1.
