Question:
A genetic association study considers a large number of explanatory variables, with nearly all expected to have no effect or a very minor effect on the response. An alternative to the least squares estimator ????̂ for the linear model incorporating those explanatory variables is the null model and its estimator,
????̃ = 0 except for the intercept. Is ????̃ unbiased? How does var(????̃
j) compare to var(????̂
j)? Explain why ∑
j E(????̃
j − ????j)
2 < ∑
j E(????̂
j − ????j
)
2 unless n is extremely large.
