Test for association between a set of SNPS/genes and continuous outcomes by including variant characteristic information and using score statistics.
1 | linear.test(y, X, G, Z, method = "liu")
|
y |
a numeric vector of the continuous outcome variables. Missing values are not allowed. |
X |
a numeric matrix of covariates with rows for individuals and columns for covariates. |
G |
a numeric genotype matrix with rows for individuals and columns for SNPs. Each SNP should be coded as 0, 1, and 2 for AA, Aa, aa, where A is a major allele and a is a minor allele. Missing genotypes are not allowed. |
Z |
a numeric matrix of second level covariates for variant characteristics. Each row corresponds to a variant and each column corresponds to a variant characteristic. If there is no second level covariates, a vector of 1 should be used. |
method |
a method to compute the p-value and the default value is "liu". Method "davies" represents an exact method that computes the p-value by inverting the characteristic function of the mixture chisq. Method "liu" represents an approximation method that matches the first 3 moments. |
S.tau |
score statistic for the variant hetergenous effect. |
S.pi |
score statistic for the variant mean effect. |
p.value.S.tau |
p-value for testing the variant hetergenous effect. |
p.value.S.pi |
p-value for testing the variant mean effect. |
p.value.overall |
overall p-value for testing the association between the set of SNPS/genes and outcomes. It combines p.value.S.pi and p.value.S.tau by using Fisher's procedure. |
