Description Usage Arguments Value Warning Author(s) References

bayesIndirect examines the indirect effect of a SNP on the outcome through the mediator in a Bayesian framework with a spike and slab prior.

1	bayesIndirect(x, k, y, z = NULL, nCov = 0, plot0 = FALSE, nIts = 50000, nBurn = 10000, propGamma1Pi = 0.7, cx = 10, pix = 0.5, SEED = 1)

`x`	is the exposure, such as the SNP.
`k`	is the mediator.
`y`	is the normally distributed outcome.
`z`	is the matrix of covariates.
`nCov`	is the number of covariates. nCov = 0, 1 or 2.
`plot0`	true if density plot should be outputted or false otherwise.
`nIts`	is the number of iterations of the MCMC.
`nBurn`	is the Burn-in period.
`propGamma1Pi`	is the probability of gamma from the Bernoulli distribution.
`cx`	is the variance of beta X from the normal distribution.
`pix`	is the probability that beta x is sampled from the normal distribution.
`SEED`	is the seed for the SKAT function, default = 1.

The posterior mean, standard deviation and quantiles for each variable.

library(coda) is needed to run this function.
