Small-Scale Question Sunday for April 16, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

  1. You can come up with a "polygenic risk score for votin liberal" which has an AUC of 0.70 or better

  2. No single gene explains more than 20% of the variance explained by the PRS as a whole.

  3. This is true because you can determine someone's ancestry by looking at their genome, and people in the same ancestry have a pretty strong tendency to vote the same way.
