ELJAglm: Generalized Linear Models regression for EnvWAS/EWAS analysis

In Elja: Linear, Logistic and Generalized Linear Models Regressions for the EnvWAS/EWAS Approach

Generalized Linear Models regression for EnvWAS/EWAS analysis

Description

A tool for Environment-Wide Association Studies (EnvWAS / EWAS) which are repeated analysis. This function is espacially for generalized linear models 'glm' and allows the addition of adjustment variables.

Usage

ELJAglm(
  var,
  var_adjust = NULL,
  family = binomial(link = "logit"),
  data,
  manplot = TRUE,
  nbvalmanplot = 100,
  Bonferroni = FALSE,
  FDR = FALSE,
  manplotsign = FALSE
)

Arguments

var	A categorical and binary variable. It is generally your outcome.
var_adjust	A vector containing the names of the fixed adjustment variables for all the models.
family	The family and the link use for the glm function.
data	A dataframe containing all the variables needed for the analysis.
manplot	Generate a Manhattan plot of the results of the analysis.
nbvalmanplot	The number of variables to include in each Manhattan plot.
Bonferroni	Add a dashed bar to the Manhattan plot showing the Bonferroni significance threshold.
FDR	Add a dashed bar to the Manhattan plot showing the False Discovery Rate (Benjamini-Hochberg method) significance threshold. NA if all p-values > FDR corrected p-values.
manplotsign	Generates a Manhattan plot with only significant results (p<0.05).

Value

A Dataframe with results for each variable of the model.

### Loading the PIMA dataset contained in the mlbench package

library(mlbench)
data(PimaIndiansDiabetes)

### Using ELJAlinear to perform EWAS analysis

ELJAglm(var = 'diabetes',data = PimaIndiansDiabetes,
family = binomial(link = "logit"), manplot = TRUE, Bonferroni = TRUE,
FDR = TRUE, nbvalmanplot = 30, manplotsign = FALSE)
