Abstract: sentinel selects sentinel SNPs from the genetic variants in indepvars. These are SNPs that best detect independent risk-altering signals. In a multivariable multiplicative logistic regression model that regresses depvar against the sentinel variants, each variant is significantly associated with depvar and the absolute value of the correlation coefficient of each pair of variants is low.
