skin.exposure {lfmm}

Simulated (and real) methylation levels for sun exposed patient patients

Description

A data set containing normalized beta values, and sun exposure and simulated phenotypic data for 78 tissue samples.

Usage

data("skin.exposure")

Format

A list with 6 arguments: beta.value, phenotype, causal.set, chrpos

Details

The variables are:

• beta.value: 1496 filtered normalized beta values (methyation probabilities) for 78 tissue samples.

• exposure: Sun exposure levels for 78 tissue samples.

• phenotype: Simulated binary phenotypic data for 78 tissue samples.

• age: age of patients.

• gender: sex of patients.

• tissue: category for tissue samples.
