AMD association of pathways under collective inference. a AUC score versus pathway size (number of SNPs in each pathway). Symbols show collective and independent-SNP inference AUCs under 5-fold cross validation. Vertical lines are 95 % C.I. The horizontal line represents the Bonferroni-corrected nominal discovery threshold based on the p-value estimates. b Regression of AUC versus pathway p-values. The latter were obtained for a selection of pathways via phenotype-label reshuffling using AUC as the statistic. Dotted line is the linear fit for AUC>0.52. c–e Pathways with association strength AUC>0.55, grouped according to the top hierarchical classes they belong to. We excluded pathways in the Disease class. Dendrograms below the bars show their hierarchical relationships.
