Fits a discrete mixture model for rare variant association analysis. Uses an approximate variational Bayes coordinate ascent algorithm for a computationally efficient solution. This is the slow but well documented R implementation.
1 2 |
y |
A vector of continuous phenotypes. |
G |
A matrix of genotypes or variables of interest. |
X |
An optional matrix of covariates. |
tol |
The tolerance for convergence based on the change in the lower bound on the marginal log likelihood in the vbdm algorithm. |
thres |
If the matrix is of genotypes, then this specifies a minor allele frequency threshold. Variants with a MAF greater than this threshold are excluded from the analysis. |
scaling |
Whether or not to scale the genotypes to have mean 0 and variance 1. |
hyper |
The hyperparameters for the prior defined over the mixing probability parameter. The first hyperparameter is the alpha parameter, and the second is the beta parameter. |
This function contains the much slower, but well documented R implementation of the vbdm algorithm. This function does not have all of the sanity checks that vbdm
has, and should therefore only be used for diagnostic purposes.
y |
The phenotype vector passed to vbdmR. |
G |
The genotype matrix passed to vbdmR. Note that any variables that were dropped will be dropped from this matrix. |
X |
The covariate matrix passed to vbdmR. Will include intercept term if it was added earlier. |
keep |
A vector of indices of the kept variables in G (if any were excluded based on |
pvec |
The vector of estimated posterior probabilities for each variable in G. |
gamma |
A vector of additive covariate effect estimates. |
theta |
The estimated effect of the variables in G. |
sigma |
The estimated error variance. |
prob |
The estimated mixing parameter. |
lb |
The lower bound of the marginal log likelihood. |
lbnull |
The lower bound of the marginal log likelihood under the null model. |
lrt |
The approximate likelihood ratio test based on the lower bounds. |
p.value |
A p-value computed based on |
