Under the foreground-background model, only a proportion of SNPs with foreground signal (the proportion is denoted by ) will be used for causal inference. We thus calculated * Total NO. of IVs as “NO.of valid IVs with foreground signal”. This number is also known as the effective number of IVs or the estimated number of valid IVs. - # Reference - -Xinyi Yu, Jiashun Xiao, Mingxuan Cai, Yuling Jiao, Xiang Wan, Jin Liu, Can Yang.
