Problem statement

I am working on a bioinformatics project analyzing GWAS data for a rare Indian genetic disorder. My sample size is only n=89 cases and n=143 controls due to the rarity of the condition.

Specific questions:

  1. Should I report power analysis even though I know the study is underpowered?
  2. Bonferroni seems too conservative with this sample size; is FDR acceptable?
  3. I don't have an independent cohort to validate. Is this a dealbreaker for journal submission?

This is a legitimate clinical study with IRB approval. I just want to know how to frame the limitations honestly.

This is exactly what I needed to hear. One clarifying question: you mentioned FedProx handles non-IID data better.does that mean I should switch to FedProx by default, or only if I observe poor convergence with FedAvg first?

This question comes up a lot. The answer really depends on your specific field and what your committee values.

The IEEE TPAMI turnaround in my case was 7 months for the first review. Plan accordingly.

For Zotero vs BibTeX management, I moved to Zotero + Better BibTeX 3 years ago and have not looked back.

My workflow:

  1. Zotero browser connector captures papers instantly from ArXiv, Google Scholar, ACM DL, IEEE Xplore
  2. Better BibTeX generates a clean .bib file that auto-updates whenever I add a paper
  3. Overleaf directly pulls from the .bib file via Dropbox sync

One tip: create a Zotero collection per paper/project. When you export the .bib, export only that collection to keep it clean.

Thank you for the honest take. This is the kind of answer I was looking for.not the sanitized version.
