In agaye/ESPRESSO.E: Power Analysis and Sample Size Calculation for a model with a main effect environmental exposure

Description

The function uses the effects data of the determinants to construct a linear predictor(LP). The outcome is a normally distributed variable generated with a mean equal to the LP and a standard deviation of 1.

Usage

sim.pheno.qtl.E(num.subjects = 10000, pheno.mean = 0, pheno.sd = 1,
  environment = NULL, env.efkt = 0.25)

Arguments

num.obs	number of subjects to generate.
pheno.mean	mean of the outcome variable in the study population
pheno.sd	standard deviation of the outcome in the study population
environment	environmental exposure data.
env.efkt	effect size of the environmental exposure.
