ASSU: ASSU: Adaptive Sum of Squared Score U Statistic

In gastonstat/AssotesteR: Statistical Tests for Genetic Association Studies

Description

The adaptive SSU test has been proposed by Han and Pan (2010) in an attempt to overcome some of the drawbacks of the SSU test, by extending the idea of the adaptive Neyman's test (Fan, 1996). The approach behind the adaptive test is to use the U-statistics of the score test (from logistic regression models) in order to construct a statistic with the first components of the score vector U.

Usage

  ASSU(y, X, perm = 100)

  ASSU.Ord(y, X, perm = 100)

Arguments

y	numeric vector with phenotype status: 0=controls, 1=cases. No missing data allowed
X	numeric matrix or data frame with genotype data coded as 0, 1, 2. Missing data is allowed
perm	positive integer indicating the number of permutations (100 by default)

Details

ASSU gives the normal (unordered) test.
ASSU.Ord gives the ordered (decreasing) test.

There is no imputation for the missing data. Missing values are simply ignored in the computations.

Value

An object of class "assoctest", basically a list with the following elements:

assu.stat	assu statistic
perm.pval	permuted p-value
args	descriptive information with number of controls, cases, variants, and permutations
name	name of the statistic

Examples

  ## Not run: 
  
  # number of cases
  cases = 500

  # number of controls
  controls = 500

  # total (cases + controls)
  total = cases + controls

  # phenotype vector
  phenotype = c(rep(1, cases), rep(0, controls))

  # genotype matrix with 10 variants (random data)
  set.seed(123)
  genotype = matrix(rbinom(total*10, 2, 0.05), nrow=total, ncol=10)

  # apply ASSU with 500 permutations
  myassu = ASSU(phenotype, genotype, perm=500)
  myassu

  # apply ASSU.Ord with 500 permutations
  myassuord = ASSU.Ord(phenotype, genotype, perm=500)
  myassuord
