correlation value higher than 1

[yildizkoca]

I'm getting the following values for my GWAS correlation analysis, why is correlation bigger than 1?

Genetic Correlation

Genetic Correlation: 1.0316 (1.1478)
Z-score: 0.8988
P: 0.3688

@yildizkoca The estimate is not constrained to be within the bounds [-1, 1] in order that it remain unbiased.

The estimate and standard error are consistent with the genetic correlation = 0.
