R Documentation

Smooth-threshold multivariate genetic prediction for genome-wide association or whole-genome sequencing data in PLINK format

Description

Build prediction model from training data and predict test data phenotype through smooth-threshold multivariate genetic prediction (STMGP) method. Data must be in PLINK binary format and marginal test p-values (i.e. test for each variant) are computed by PLINK software, which enables rapid computation even for data having very large number of variants. An optimal p-value cutoff is selected by Cp-type criterion. Both quantitative and binary phenotypes are acceptable, in which data must be in PLINK fam file format or in a separate file (PLINK format, i.e. FID and IID are needed).

Usage

stmgplink(trainbed, testbed = NULL, gamma = 1, taun = NULL,
  lambda = 1, Z = NULL, Zte = NULL, plink = "plink --noweb",
  maf = 0.01, hwe = 1e-04, geno = 0.1, fout = "stp",
  trainfout = "train", testfout = "test", ll = 50, maxal = NULL, alc = NULL,
  tdir = NULL, Znames=NULL, trainphenofile=NULL,
  testphenofile = NULL, phenoname=NULL, pSum = NULL)

Arguments

`trainbed`	A training data file name in PLINK binary format or a vector of three file names of .bed, .bim, .fam; Binary phenotype must be coded as 1 or 2 in PLINK fam file. Missing values in .fam file are -9 as usual.
`testbed`	A test data file name in PLINK binary format or a vector of three file names of .bed, .bim, .fam; NULL (default) means unspecified. Missing values in .fam are -9 as usual.
`gamma`	gamma parameter; `gamma=1` is default as suggested in Ueki and Tamiya (2016).
`taun`	tau parameter divided by (sample size) (allowed to be a vector object; optimal parameter is chosen by Cp); NULL (default) specifies `tau=n/log(n)^0.5` as suggested in Ueki and Tamiya (2016).
`lambda`	lambda parameter (default=1).
`Z`	A covariate file name for training data (PLINK format, i.e. FID and IID are needed) or data matrix, missing values are "-9"; NULL (default) means unspecified.
`Zte`	A covariate file name for test data (PLINK format, i.e. FID and IID are needed) or data matrix, missing values are "-9"; NULL (default) means unspecified.
`plink`	PLINK command, e.g. "plink2", "./plink –noweb", or "plink1.9 –memory 100000" (default is `plink --noweb`) where options can be added; PLINK must be installed.
`maf`	Minor allele frequency (MAF) cutoff for `--maf` option in PLINK.
`hwe`	Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) cutoff for `--hwe` option in PLINK.
`geno`	Missing call rate cutoff for `--geno` option in PLINK (default=0.1).
`fout`	An output file name (default="stp").
`trainfout`	An output file name for training data (default="train").
`testfout`	An output file name for test data (default="test").
`ll`	Number of candidate p-value cutoffs for search (default=50) as determined by `10^seq( log10(maxal),log10(5e-8), length=ll)`.
`maxal`	Maximum p-value cutoff for search (default=NULL); If most variants are null `maxal`*(number of variants) gives approximate number of filtered variants, which is useful for rapid computation even for data with large number of variants.
`alc`	User-specified candidate p-value cutoffs for search; `ll` option is effective if `alc=NULL`.
`tdir`	Location of temporary files (default=`tempdir()`).
`Znames`	Name(s) of covariate used; NULL (default) means unspecified.
`trainphenofile`	A phenotype file name for training data (PLINK format, i.e. FID and IID are needed) with header columns (i.e. FID, IID, phenoname1, phenoname2, ...) missing values are "-9"; NULL (default) means unspecified.
`testphenofile`	A phenotype file name for test data (PLINK format, i.e. FID and IID are needed) with header columns (i.e. FID, IID, phenoname1, phenoname2, ...) missing values are "-9"; NULL (default) means unspecified.
`phenoname`	Phenotype name in `trainphenofile`; NULL (default) means unspecified but users should provide if `trainphenofile` is provided.
`pSum`	User-specified p-values matrix from other studies that are independent of the study data (optional, default=NULL), a matrix object with rows for each variant and columns for each study (multiple studies are capable) where rownames must be specified from SNP IDs that exist in PLINK .bim file. Missing p-values must be coded as NA. Summary p-values are combined with p-values in the study data by the Fisher's method.

Details

See Ueki and Tamiya (2016).

Value

`Muhat`	Estimated phenotypes from linear model evaluated at each candidate tuning parameters (`al` and `tau`) whose size is of (sample size) x (length of `al`) x (length of `tau`).
`gdf`	Generalized degrees of freedom (GDF, Ye 1998) whose size is of (length of `al`) x (length of `tau`).
`sig2hat`	Error variance estimates (=1 for binary traits) whose size is of (length of `al`) x (length of `tau`).
`df`	Number of nonzero regression coefficients whose size is of (length of `al`) x (length of `tau`).
`al`	Candidate p-value cutoffs for search.
`lopt`	An optimal tuning parameter indexes for `al` and `tau` selected by Cp-type criterion, `CP`
`BA`	Estimated regression coefficient matrix whose size is of (1 + number of columns of `Z` + number of columns of `X`) x (length of `al`)) x (length of `tau`)); the first element, the second block and third block correspond to intercept, `Z` and `X`, respectively.
`Loss`	Loss (sum of squared residuals or -2*loglikelihood) whose size is of (length of `al`) x (length of `tau`).

`nonzero`	Variants with nonzero regression coefficients at the optimal parameter in PLINK file.
`DataTr`	Training dataset used (`y`, `X` and `Z`)
