w.diagnosis: W-test Probability Distribution Diagnostic Plot

In wtest: The W-Test for Genetic Interactions Testing

Description

Diagnostic checking of W-test probability distribution estimation.

Usage

w.diagnosis(data, w.order = c(1, 2), n.rep = 10,
  n.sample = nrow(data), n.marker = ncol(data), hf1 = "default.hf1",
  hf2 = "default.hf2", ...)

Arguments

data	a data frame or matrix containing genotypes in the columns. Genotypes should be coded as (0, 1, 2) or (0, 1).
w.order	an integer value of 0 or 1. w.order = 1 gives main effect calculation; w.order = 2 gives pairwise calculation.
n.rep	a numeric value, the number of bootstrapping times.
n.sample	a numeric value, the number of samples to use in bootstrapping. Default is the total number of samples in the data.
n.marker	a numeric value, the number of markers to use in bootstrapping. Default is the total number of markers.
hf1	h and f values to calculate main effect, organized as a matrix, with columns (k, h, f), k = 2 to 3. Needed when w.order = 1.
hf2	h and f values to calculate interaction associations, organized as a matrix, with columns (k, h, f), k = 2 to 9. Needed when w.order = 2.
...	graphical parameters.

Details

This function evaluates the input W values of main or interaction effects using a set of null Y by the W-test, and the evaluation is performed in several bootstrap samples to achieve fast and stable output. The W histogram and its theoretical Chi-squared distribution density with f degrees of freedom are plotted indexed by k. Close overlaying of the histogram and the probability density curve indicates that the estimated h and f give a good test statistic probability distribution.
