Reducing Bias of Allele Frequency Estimates by Modeling SNP Genotype Data with Informative Missingness

The presence of missing single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes is common in genetic data. For studies with low-density SNPs, the most commonly used approach to deal with genotype missingness is to simply remove the observations with missing genotypes from the analyses. This naïve me...
