xwas: xwas

In nampho2/xwas: X-Wide Association Analyses

Description

Used to systematically perform an xlm across all variables. This function contains a lot of the logic for a systematic analysis including logic to determine variable characteristics.

Usage

xwas(data, depvar, timevar = NULL, varname = NULL, adjvars = c(),
  design = NULL, permute = 0, n = 1, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

data	is the data.frame containing what to analyze.
depvar	is required and the outcome or dependent variable we are looking to analyze in the context of multiple factors.
timevar	is optional and if provided will be used in conjunction with the depvar to create a survival::Survey object for survival analysis.
varname	is optional and the independent variable, without being specified we will consider all variables. If it is provided there will only be 1 regression test performed.
adjvars	is optional and is a vector of a set of variables to adjust for under every condition, if not specified we will scan all variables without adjusting on a first pass.
design	a survey::svydesign object that has the experimental design.
permute	is the number of times to bootstrap each variable analysis in the xwas.
n	is the number of cores to use for the multi-core implementation, value must be > 1 or set to "MAX".
verbose	is a boolean to print extra information.

Value

A data.frame representing the output.
