lme.batch.imputed {GWAF} | R Documentation |
Fit linear mixed effect model to test association between a continuous phenotype
and all imputed SNPs in a genotype file. The SNP genotype is treated
as fixed effects, and a random effect correlated according to degree of relatedness within a
family is also fitted. In each trait-SNP assocaition test, the lmekin()
function which is modified from
the same named function in package kinship
is used.
lme.batch.imputed(phenfile, genfile, pedfile, phen, kinmat, covars = NULL, outfile)
phenfile |
a character string naming the phenotype file for reading (see format requirement in details) |
genfile |
a character string naming the genotype file for reading (see format requirement in details) |
pedfile |
a character string naming the pedigree file for reading (see format requirement in details) |
phen |
a character string for a phenotype name in phenfile |
kinmat |
a character string naming the file where kinship coefficient matrix is kept |
covars |
a character vector for covariates in phenfile |
outfile |
a character string naming the result file for writing |
Similar to the details for 'lme.batch' function but here the SNP data contains imputed genotypes (allele dosages) that are continuous and range from 0 to 2. In addition, the user specified genetic model argument is not available.
No value is returned. Instead, results are written to outfile
.
phen |
phenotype name |
snp |
SNP name |
N |
the number of individuals in analysis |
AF |
imputed allele frequency of coded allele |
h2q |
the portion of phenotypic variation explained by the SNP |
beta |
regression coefficient of SNP covariate |
se |
standard error of beta |
pval |
p-value of the chi-square statistic |
