The WST method has been proposed by Wang and Elston (2007) and it can be seen as a fixed effects method with transformed predictors based on Fourier Transformations. WST is based on Fourier Transform (FT) coefficients to globally test a set of correlated genetic variants (e.g. SNPs). The sequence of genetic variants values is transformed into a sequence of numbers by discrete FT, but only the real parts of the FT coefficients are taken into account. A weighted score statistic of the FT components is calculated, which follows a standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis
1 | WST(y, X, perm = 100)
|
y |
numeric vector with phenotype status: 0=controls, 1=cases. No missing data allowed |
X |
numeric matrix or data frame with genotype data coded as 0, 1, 2. NO missing data is allowed |
perm |
positive integer indicating the number of permutations (100 by default) |
This function does not allow missing genotypes
