Compute the MAX3 statistic, which tests for three genetic models (additive, recessive and dominant).

snp_MAX3(Gna, y01.train, ind.train = rows_along(Gna), val = c(0, 0.5, 1))

Arguments

Gna

A FBM.code256 (typically <bigSNP>$genotypes).
You can have missing values in these data.

y01.train

Vector of responses, corresponding to ind.train. Must be only 0s and 1s.

ind.train

An optional vector of the row indices that are used, for the training part. If not specified, all rows are used. Don't use negative indices.

val

Computing \(\smash{\displaystyle\max_{x \in val}}~Z_{CATT}^2(x)\).

  • Default is c(0, 0.5, 1) and corresponds to the MAX3 statistic.

  • Only c(0, 1) corresponds to MAX2.

  • And only 0.5 corresponds to the Armitage trend test.

  • Finally, seq(0, 1, length.out = L) corresponds to MAXL.

Value

An object of classes mhtest and data.frame returning one score by SNP. See methods(class = "mhtest").

Details

P-values associated with returned scores are in fact the minimum of the p-values of each test separately. Thus, they are biased downward.
