sim.CC.data.G(block.size = 20000, numcases = 2000, numcontrols = 8000,
  allowed.sample.size = 2e+07, disease.prev = 0.1, geno.model = 0,
  MAF = 0.1, geno.OR = 1.5, baseline.OR = 12.36, pheno.error = c(0.1,
  0.1))

Arguments

block.size

number of observations to generate per iteration until the specified number of cases and controls is achieved.

numcases

number of cases to generate.

numcontrols

number of controls to generate.

allowed.sample.size

maximum number of observations allowed i.e. the total size of the population to sample from.

disease.prev

prevalence of the binary outcome.

geno.model

genetic model; binary=0 and and additive=1.

MAF

minor allele frequency of the genetic variant.

geno.OR

odds ratio of the genetic determinant.

baseline.OR

baseline odds ratio for subject on 95 percent population centile versus 5 percentile. This parameter reflects the heterogeneity in disease risk arising from determinates that have not been measured or have not been included in the model.

pheno.error

misclassification rates: 1-sensitivity and 1-specificity

Value

a list which holds a matrix, data, that contains the phenotype and genotype statuses and an integer, allowed.sample.size.exceeded, which tells if the maximum population size has been exceeded.
