#' Convert TwoSampleMR format to MendelianRandomization format

#' The MendelianRandomization package offers MR methods that can

#' function converts from the TwoSampleMR format to the MRInput class.
#'
#' @param dat Output from the [harmonise_data()] function.
#' @param get_correlations Default `FALSE`. If `TRUE` then extract the LD matrix for the SNPs from the European 1000 genomes data on the MR-Base server.
#' @param pop If `get_correlations` is `TRUE` then use the following 
#'
#' @export
#' @return List of MRInput objects for each exposure/outcome combination
