Calculate -log10(p) for single-SNP GWAS

Description

Calculate -log10(p) of each SNP by the Wald test.

Usage

score.calc(
  M.now,
  ZETA.now,
  y,
  X.now,
  package.MM = "gaston",
  Hinv,
  P3D = TRUE,
  eigen.G = NULL,
  optimizer = "nlminb",
  n.core = 1,
  min.MAF = 0.02,
  count = TRUE
)

Arguments

M.now

A n \times m genotype matrix where n is sample size and m is the number of markers.

ZETA.now

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"!

y

A n \times 1 vector. A vector of phenotypic values should be used. NA is allowed.

X.now

A n \times p matrix. You should assign mean vector (rep(1, n)) and covariates. NA is not allowed.

package.MM

The package name to be used when solving mixed-effects model. We only offer the following three packages: "RAINBOWR", "MM4LMM" and "gaston". Default package is 'gaston'. See more details at EM3.general.

Hinv

The inverse of H = ZKZ' + \lambda I where \lambda = \sigma^2_e / \sigma^2_u.

P3D

When P3D = TRUE, variance components are estimated by REML only once, without any markers in the model. When P3D = FALSE, variance components are estimated by REML for each marker separately.

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.

optimizer

The function used in the optimization process. We offer "optim", "optimx", and "nlminb" functions. This argument is only valid when ‘package.MM = ’RAINBOWR''.

n.core

Setting n.core > 1 will enable parallel execution on a machine with multiple cores.

min.MAF

Specifies the minimum minor allele frequency (MAF). If a marker has a MAF less than min.MAF, it is assigned a zero score.

count

When count is TRUE, you can know how far RGWAS has ended with percent display.

Value

-log10(p) for each marker
