Equation of mixed model for multi-kernel (fast, for limited cases)

Description

This function solves multi-kernel mixed model using fastlmm.snpset approach (Lippert et al., 2014). This function can be used only when the kernels other than genomic relationship matrix are linear kernels.

Usage

EM3.linker.cpp(
  y0,
  X0 = NULL,
  ZETA = NULL,
  Zs0 = NULL,
  Ws0,
  Gammas0 = lapply(Ws0, function(x) diag(ncol(x))),
  gammas.diag = TRUE,
  X.fix = TRUE,
  eigen.SGS = NULL,
  eigen.G = NULL,
  n.core = 1,
  tol = NULL,
  bounds = c(1e-06, 1e+06),
  optimizer = "nlminb",
  traceInside = 0,
  n.thres = 450,
  spectral.method = NULL,
  REML = TRUE,
  pred = TRUE,
  return.u.always = TRUE,
  return.u.each = TRUE,
  return.Hinv = TRUE
)

Arguments

y0	A n \times 1 vector. A vector of phenotypic values should be used. NA is allowed.
X0	A n \times p matrix. You should assign mean vector (rep(1, n)) and covariates. NA is not allowed.
ZETA	A list of variance (relationship) matrix (K; m \times m) and its design matrix (Z; n \times m) of random effects. You can use only one kernel matrix. For example, ZETA = list(A = list(Z = Z, K = K)) Please set names of list "Z" and "K"!
Zs0	A list of design matrices (Z; n \times m matrix) for Ws. For example, Zs0 = list(A.part = Z.A.part, D.part = Z.D.part)
Ws0	A list of low rank matrices (W; m \times k matrix). This forms linear kernel K = W \Gamma W'. For example, Ws0 = list(A.part = W.A, D.part = W.D)
Gammas0	A list of matrices for weighting SNPs (Gamma; k \times k matrix). This forms linear kernel K = W \Gamma W'. For example, if there is no weighting, Gammas0 = lapply(Ws0, function(x) diag(ncol(x)))
gammas.diag	If each Gamma is the diagonal matrix, please set this argument TRUE. The calculationtime can be saved.
X.fix	If you repeat this function and when X0 is fixed during iterations, please set this argument TRUE.
eigen.SGS	A list with $values Eigen values $vectors Eigen vectors The result of the eigen decompsition of SGS, where S = I - X(X'X)^{-1}X', G = ZKZ'. You can use "spectralG.cpp" function in RAINBOWR. If this argument is NULL, the eigen decomposition will be performed in this function. We recommend you assign the result of the eigen decomposition beforehand for time saving.
eigen.G	A list with $values Eigen values $vectors Eigen vectors The result of the eigen decompsition of G = ZKZ'. You can use "spectralG.cpp" function in RAINBOWR. If this argument is NULL, the eigen decomposition will be performed in this function. We recommend you assign the result of the eigen decomposition beforehand for time saving.
n.core	Setting n.core > 1 will enable parallel execution on a machine with multiple cores.
tol	The tolerance for detecting linear dependencies in the columns of G = ZKZ'. Eigen vectors whose eigen values are less than "tol" argument will be omitted from results. If tol is NULL, top 'n' eigen values will be effective.
bounds	Lower and upper bounds for weights.
optimizer	The function used in the optimization process. We offer "optim", "optimx", and "nlminb" functions.
traceInside	Perform trace for the optimzation if traceInside >= 1, and this argument shows the frequency of reports.
n.thres	If n >= n.thres, perform EMM1.cpp. Else perform EMM2.cpp.
spectral.method	The method of spectral decomposition. In this function, "eigen" : eigen decomposition and "cholesky" : cholesky and singular value decomposition are offered. If this argument is NULL, either method will be chosen accorsing to the dimension of Z and X.
REML	You can choose which method you will use, "REML" or "ML". If REML = TRUE, you will perform "REML", and if REML = FALSE, you will perform "ML".
pred	If TRUE, the fitting values of y is returned.
return.u.always	If TRUE, BLUP ('u'; u) will be returned.
return.u.each	If TRUE, the function also computes each BLUP corresponding to different kernels (when solving multi-kernel mixed-effects model). It takes additional time compared to the one with 'return.u.each = FALSE'.
return.Hinv	If TRUE, H ^ {-1} = (Var[y] / \sum _{l=1} ^ {L} \sigma _ {l} ^ 2) ^ {-1} will be computed. It also returns V ^ {-1} = (Var[y]) ^ {-1}.

Value

$y.pred

$Vu

$Ve

$beta

$u

$u.each

BLUP(Each u)

$weights

The proportion of each genetic variance (corresponding to each kernel of ZETA) to Vu

$LL

Maximized log-likelihood (full or restricted, depending on method)

$Vinv

The inverse of V = Vu \times ZKZ' + Ve \times I

$Hinv

The inverse of H = ZKZ' + \lambda I
