snpgdsIndInb: Individual Inbreeding Coefficients

In SNPRelate: Parallel Computing Toolset for Relatedness and Principal Component Analysis of SNP Data

Description

To calculate individual inbreeding coefficients using SNP genotype data

Usage

snpgdsIndInb(gdsobj, sample.id=NULL, snp.id=NULL,
    autosome.only=TRUE, remove.monosnp=TRUE, maf=NaN, missing.rate=NaN,
    method=c("mom.weir", "mom.visscher", "mle", "gcta1", "gcta2", "gcta3"),
    allele.freq=NULL, out.num.iter=TRUE, reltol=.Machine$double.eps^0.75,
    verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

gdsobj	an object of class SNPGDSFileClass, a SNP GDS file
sample.id	a vector of sample id specifying selected samples; if NULL, all samples are used
snp.id	a vector of snp id specifying selected SNPs; if NULL, all SNPs are used
autosome.only	if TRUE, use autosomal SNPs only; if it is a numeric or character value, keep SNPs according to the specified chromosome
remove.monosnp	if TRUE, remove monomorphic SNPs
maf	to use the SNPs with ">= maf" only; if NaN, no MAF threshold
missing.rate	to use the SNPs with "<= missing.rate" only; if NaN, no missing threshold
method	see details
allele.freq	to specify the allele frequencies; if NULL, the allele frequencies are estimated from the given samples
out.num.iter	output the numbers of iterations
reltol	relative convergence tolerance used in MLE; the algorithm stops if it is unable to reduce the value of log likelihood by a factor of $reltol * (abs(log likelihood with the initial parameters) + reltol)$ at a step.
verbose	if TRUE, show information

Details

The method can be: "mom.weir": a modified Visscher's estimator, proposed by Bruce Weir; "mom.visscher": Visscher's estimator described in Yang et al. (2010); "mle": the maximum likelihood estimation; "gcta1": F^I in GCTA, avg [(g_i - 2p_i)^2 / (2*p_i*(1-p_i)) - 1]; "gcta2": F^II in GCTA, avg [1 - g_i*(2 - g_i) / (2*p_i*(1-p_i))]; "gcta3": F^III in GCTA, the same as "mom.visscher", avg [g_i^2 - (1 + 2p_i)*g_i + 2*p_i^2] / (2*p_i*(1-p_i)).

Value

Return estimated inbreeding coefficient.

Examples

# open an example dataset (HapMap)
genofile <- snpgdsOpen(snpgdsExampleFileName())

rv <- snpgdsIndInb(genofile, method="mom.visscher")
head(rv$inbreeding)
summary(rv$inbreeding)

# close the genotype file
snpgdsClose(genofile)
