In CPBayes: Bayesian Meta Analysis for Studying Cross-Phenotype Genetic Associations

Description

Run the analytic_locFDR_BF_uncor function to analytically compute the local FDR & Bayes factor (BF) that quantifies the evidence of aggregate-level pleiotropic association for uncorrelated summary statistics. Here a fixed value of slab variance is considred instead of a range of it in cpbayes_uncor.

Usage

analytic_locFDR_BF_uncor(BetaHat, SE, SpikeVar = 1e-04, SlabVar = 0.8)

Arguments

BetaHat	A numeric vector of length K where K is the number of phenotypes. It contains the beta-hat values across studies/traits. No default.
SE	A numeric vector with the same dimension as BetaHat providing the standard errors corresponding to BetaHat. Every element of SE must be positive. No default.
SpikeVar	Variance of spike (normal distribution with small variance) representing the null effect distribution. Default is 10^(-4).
SlabVar	Variance of slab normal distribution representing the non-null effect distribution. Default is 0.8.

Value

The output produced by the function is a list which consists of the local FDR and log10(Bayes factor).

locFDR	It provides the analytically computed local false discovery rate (posterior probability of null association) under CPBayes model (a Bayesian analog of the p-value) which is a measure of the evidence of the aggregate-level pleiotropic association. Bayes factor is adjusted for prior odds, but locFDR is solely a function of the posterior odds.
log10_BF	It provides the analytically computed log10(Bayes factor) produced by CPBayes that measures the evidence of the overall pleiotropic association.
