The phrase "associations type" is not correct in standard written English.
It seems to be a misphrasing and lacks clarity. A more appropriate term would be "type of associations."
Example: "In psychology, we often study the type of associations that individuals make with certain stimuli."
Alternatives: "category of associations" or "kind of associations."
Thus we expect that some of the SNPs we identified could be false positive associations (type 1 error); replication from additional studies is required to validate the observed associations.
However, the precision was, indeed, considerable, so the risk of overlooking associations (type II-error) was accordingly extremely low.
This is particularly important in GWAS because associations are tested at tens to hundreds of thousands of SNP markers, inflating the rate of false associations (type I error).
Furthermore, although the total number of participants was high, the sample size of some categories became rather small, which might have increased the risk for not detecting some associations (type II error).
In the absence of an ideal comparison group for women with a prior abortion, we used three unexposed cohorts, which could increase the chance of false-positive associations (type I error).
At least part of these weaknesses derive from discounting SNP association "hits" that fail to achieve "genome-wide significance", a widely accepted, albeit conservative, statistical threshold set to discard the plethora of false positive statistical associations (Type I errors) that derive from the large number of SNPs interrogated [ 2, 13- 16].
The authors addressed this imbalance by using the proportion of associates selected for each association type.
We found that type D personality is associated with depressive symptoms, but despite this moderate association, type D itself is not a prognostic factor for mortality in COPD.
Indeed, the diagnostic categories for pediatric insomnia are labeled as "limit-setting type" or "association type," meaning, respectively, that parents aren't setting limits for bedtime behavior or that children rely on parents to soothe them to sleep.
In addition, if the civil association type was chosen, there could be risks regarding the management of transaction data.
However, it has to be kept in mind that multiple comparisons might have introduced false significant association (type 1 errors) and that the coefficient of determination was low (≤0.35), which indicates weak associations (Table 3).
