\begin{example}[Genotype: Qualitative or Quantitative?]
|
|
\[
|
|
\text{SNP}:
|
|
\begin{cases}
|
|
\text{AA} \\
|
|
\text{AB} \\
|
|
\text{BB}
|
|
\end{cases}
|
|
\rightarrow
|
|
\begin{pmatrix}
|
|
0 \\
|
|
1 \\
|
|
2
|
|
\end{pmatrix},
|
|
\]
|
|
thus we might consider genotype either as a qualitative variable or quantitative variable.
|
|
\end{example}
|
|
|
|
When the variable are quantitative, we use regression, whereas for qualitative variables, we use an analysis of variance. |
