Abstract :
Background and Purpose: The identification of genetics risk factors of human diseases is very
important. This study is conducted to model the allele frequencies (AFs) of Alzheimer’s disease.
Materials and Methods: In this study, several candidate probability distributions are fitted on a data set
of Alzheimer’s disease genetic risk factor. Unknown parameters of the considered distributions are
estimated, and some criterions of goodness-of-fit are calculated for the sake of comparison.
Results: Based on some statistical criterions, the beta distribution gives the best fit on AFs.
However, the estimate values of the parameters of beta distribution lead us to the standard uniform
distribution.
Conclusion: The AFs of Alzheimer’s disease follow the standard uniform distribution.
