Poisson Modelling For Snp

Question

[sandhya0888]

I have a list of SNPs .How should i do a poisson model for it?

Please provide more detail of what you want to achieve.

[sandhya0888]

I need to find p-value for each SNP assuming a poisson distribution.I need to know how to calculate the mean value of SNP for each gene.

This is not much more detail...

[Neilfws]

No, it isn't. "Mean value of SNP for each gene" - what values are being measured? "p-value for each SNP" - what exactly are you comparing and expecting to be different? "Assuming a poisson distribution" - of what?

I wouldn't use a poisson distribution. It's more correct to use the binomial distribution and use each SNP independently.
