Table 2 Summary of the nominal type I error rate α and power of QTL detection 1−β ∗ of four statistical models combined with two cofactor selection methods (C1, C2) at different α ∗ levels in a scenario with 50 QTLs, heritability h 2= 0.8, and 40 backcross nested association mapping (BC-NAM) subpopulations which were randomly selected from a total of 50 BC-NAM subpopulations, where α is the mean nominal type I error rate across the performed 25 simulation runs, α ∗ is the empirical type I error rate, S1 and S2 refer to single marker model 1 and 2, J1 and J2 refer to joint composite interval mapping model 1 and 2.
