eqtl_simulator: Simulating eQTL phenotypes.

In jinhyunju/eQTLtools: What the package does (one line)

Description

Generates a phenotype matrix based on a given input genotype matrix.

Usage

eqtl_simulator(genotypes, n.pheno = NULL, n.eqtl = NULL,
  cis.trans.ratio = NULL, trans.impact = NULL, trans.nerf = NULL,
  coeff.sample = NULL, cis.sd = NULL)

Arguments

genotypes	A genotype matrix with dimensions N x g.
n.pheno	Number of phenotypes to simulate
n.eqtl	Number of eQTL pairs
cis.trans.ratio	Ratio between cis and trans hits
trans.impact	Maximum percentage of total genes a trans hit can influence.
trans.nerf	Ratio of trans effect size compared to cis-hits. Accounts for the observation that trans hits usually have smaller effect sizes.
coeff.sample	A vector from which the effect sizes (coefficiens) are going to be sampled from.

Value

Phenotype matrix with dimensions N x n.pheno
