HESAT: Heterogeneous-effects (HE) meta-analysis of variant-set...

In baolinwu/MetaSAT: Meta-analysis of variant-set association tests

Description

Conduct meta-analysis of variant-set association test of m variants assuming heterogeous effects across K studies. HE VT: ∑_k U_k^TU_k; FE BT: (∑_kη_k^TU_k)^2; HAT: adaptively combine HE VT and FE BT.

Usage

HESAT(Us, Vs, eta = NULL, rho = (0:10/10)^2)

Arguments

Us	matrix of variant test statistics (m, K)
Vs	array of covariance matrix for test statistics (m, m, K)
eta	coefficient vector for the FE BT. Default to equal weights.
rho	weights assigned to the FE BT

Value

p.value

p-values for HAT, HE VT, FE BT

pval

vector of p-values for each rho

rho.est

optimal rho value leading to the minimum p-value

Examples

K = 3; m=10
Vs = array(0, dim=c(m,m,K)); Us = matrix(0, m,K)
for(k in 1:K){
  ak = matrix(rnorm(100*m),100,m)*sqrt(0.8)+rnorm(100)*sqrt(0.2)
  Vs[,,k] = cor(ak)
  Rh = chol(Vs[,,k])
  Us[,k] = colSums(Rh*rnorm(m))
}
HESAT(Us,Vs)
U1 = Us + rnorm(m*K)
HESAT(U1,Vs)
