Compute $$G G^T$$ from a bed object, with possible filtering and scaling of G. For example, this can be used to compute GRMs.

bed_tcrossprodSelf(
obj.bed,
fun.scaling = bed_scaleBinom,
ind.row = rows_along(obj.bed),
ind.col = cols_along(obj.bed),
block.size = block_size(length(ind.row))
)

## Arguments

obj.bed

Object of type bed, which is the mapping of some bed file. Use obj.bed <- bed(bedfile) to get this object.

fun.scaling

A function with parameters X (or obj.bed), ind.row and ind.col, and that returns a data.frame with $center and $scale for the columns corresponding to ind.col, to scale each of their elements such as followed: $$\frac{X_{i,j} - center_j}{scale_j}.$$ Default uses binomial scaling. You can also provide your own center and scale by using as_scaling_fun().

ind.row

An optional vector of the row indices (individuals) that are used. If not specified, all rows are used.
Don't use negative indices.

ind.col

An optional vector of the column indices (SNPs) that are used. If not specified, all columns are used.
Don't use negative indices.

block.size

Maximum number of columns read at once. Default uses block_size.

## Value

A temporary FBM, with the following two attributes:

• a numeric vector center of column scaling,

• a numeric vector scale of column scaling.

## Matrix parallelization

Large matrix computations are made block-wise and won't be parallelized in order to not have to reduce the size of these blocks. Instead, you may use Microsoft R Open or OpenBLAS in order to accelerate these block matrix computations. You can also control the number of cores used with bigparallelr::set_blas_ncores().

## Examples

bedfile <- system.file("extdata", "example.bed", package = "bigsnpr")
obj.bed <- bed(bedfile)

K <- bed_tcrossprodSelf(obj.bed)
K[1:4, 1:6] / ncol(obj.bed)
