AssocTestResult-class: Class 'AssocTestResult'

In UBod/podkat: Position-Dependent Kernel Association Test

Class AssocTestResult

Description

S4 class for storing the result of an association test for a single genomic region

Objects

Objects of this class are created by calling assocTest for a single genomic region.

Slots

The following slots are defined for AssocTestResult objects:

type:

type of null model on which the association test was based

samples:

character vector with sample names (if available, otherwise empty)

kernel:

kernel that was used for the association test

dim:

dimensions of genotype matrix that was tested

weights:

weight vector that was used; empty if no weighting was performed

width:

tolerance radius parameter that was used for position-dependent kernels

method:

method(s) used to compute p-values; a single character string if no resampling was done, otherwise a list with two components specifying the p-value computation method for the test's p-value and the resampled p-values separately.

correction:

a logical vector indicating whether the small sample correction was carried out (first component exact is TRUE) and/or higher moment correction was carried out (second component resampling is TRUE).

Q:

test statistic

p.value:

the test's p-value

Q.resampling:

test statistics for sampled null model residuals

p.value.resampling:

p-values for sampled null model residuals

p.value.resampled:

estimated p-value computed as the relative frequency of p-values of sampled residuals that are at least as significant as the test's p-value

call:

the matched call with which the object was created

Methods

show

signature(object="AssocTestResult"): displays the test statistic and the p-value along with the type of the null model, the number of samples, the number of SNVs, and the kernel that was used to carry out the test.

Examples

## load genome description
data(hgA)

## load genotype data from VCF file
vcfFile <- system.file("examples/example1.vcf.gz", package="podkat")
Z <- readGenotypeMatrix(vcfFile)

## read phenotype data from CSV file (continuous trait + covariates)
phenoFile <- system.file("examples/example1lin.csv", package="podkat")
pheno <-read.table(phenoFile, header=TRUE, sep=",")

## train null model with all covariates in data frame 'pheno'
nm.lin <- nullModel(y ~ ., pheno)

## perform association test for entire genotype matrix
res <- assocTest(Z, nm.lin)
show(res)

## perform association test for subset of genotype matrix
res <- assocTest(Z[, 50:100], nm.lin)
show(res)
