formula

a formula expression as for regression models, of the form response ~ predictors. See the documentation of formula for other details.

data

an optional data frame in which to interpret the variables occuring in formula.

lambda

A ridge regression parameter. May be a vector. If lambda is "automatic" (the default), then the ridge parameter is chosen automatically using the method of Cule et al (2012).

nPCs

The number of principal components to use to choose the ridge regression parameter, following the method of Cule et al (2012). It is not possible to specify both lambda and nPCs.

scaling

The method to be used to scale the predictors. One of "corrform"(the default) scales the predictors to correlation form, such that the correlation matrix has unit diagonal. "scale"Standardizes the predictors to have mean zero and unit variance. "none"No scaling.

object

A ridgeLinear object, typically generated by a call to linearRidge.

newdata

An optional data frame in which to look for variables with which to predict. If omitted, the fitted values are used.

na.action

function determining what should be done with missing values in newdata. The default is to predict NA.

all.coef

Logical. Should results be returned for all ridge regression penalty parameters (all.coef = TRUE), or only for the ridge parameter chosen automatically using the method of Cule et al?

x

An object of class ridgeLinear (for the print.ridgeLinear and plot.ridgeLinear functions) or an object of class summary.ridgeLinear (for the print.summary.ridgeLinear function)

y

Dummy argument for compatibility with the default plot method. Ignored.

digits

signif.stars

logical; if TRUE, P-values are additionally encoded visually as significance stars in order to help scanning of long coefficient tables. It defaults to the show.signif.stars slot of options.

...

Additional arguments to be passed to or from other methods.

Details

If an intercept is present in the model, its coefficient is not penalised. If you want to penalise an intercept, put in your own constant term and remove the intercept.

Usage

linearRidgeGenotypes(genotypesfilename, phenotypesfilename, lambda = -1, 
thinfilename = NULL, betafilename = NULL, approxfilename = NULL,
permfilename = NULL, intercept =
TRUE, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

genotypesfilename

character string: path to file containing SNP genotypes coded 0, 1, 2. See Input file formats.

phenotypesfilename

character string: path to file containing phenotypes. See Input file formats.

lambda

(optional) shrinkage parameter. If not provided, the default denotes automatic choice of the shrinkage parameter using the method of Cule & De Iorio (2012).

thinfilename

(optional) character string: path to file containing three columns: SNP name, chromosme and SNP psotion. See Input file formats. (See details.)

betafilename

(optional) character string: path to file where the output will be written. See Output file formats.

approxfilename

(optional) character string: path to fine where the approximate test p-values will be written. Approximate p-values are not computed unless this argument is given. Approximate p-values are computed using the method of Cule et al (2011). See Output file formats.

permfilename

(optional) character string: path to file where the permutation test p-values will be written. Permutation test p-values are not computed unless this argument is given. (See warning). See Output file formats.

intercept

Logical: Should the ridge regression model be fitted with an intercept? (Defaults to TRUE)

verbose

Logical: If TRUE, additional information is printed to the R output as the code runs. Defaults to FALSE.

Details

If a file thin is supplied, and the shrinkage parameter lambda is being computed automatically based on the data, then this file is used to thin the SNP data by SNP position. If this file is not supplied, SNPs are thinned automatically based on number of SNPs.

Value

The vector of fitted ridge regression coefficients. If betafilename is given, the fitted coefficients are written to this file as well as being returned. If approxfilename and/or permfilename are given, results of approximate test p-values and/or permutation test p-values are written to the files given in their arguments.

Input file formats

genotypesfilename:

A header row, plus one row for each individual, one SNP per column. The header row contains SNP names. SNPs are coded as 0, 1, 2 for minor allele count. Missing values are not accommodated. Invariant SNPs in the data cause an error, please remove these from the file before calling the function.

phenofilename:

A single column of phenotypes with the individuals in the same order as those in the file genotypesfilename.

thin:

(optional) Three columns and the same number of rows as there are SNPs in the file genotypesfilename, one row per SNP. First column: SNP names (must match names in genotypesfilename); second column: chromosome; third column: SNP position in BP.

Output file formats

All output files are optional. Whether or not betafilename is provided, fitted coefficients are returned to the R workshpace. If betafilename is provided, fitted coefficients are written to the file specified (in addition).

betafilename:

Two columns: First column is SNP names in same order as in genotypesfilename, second column is fitted coefficients. If intercept = TRUE (the default) then the first row is the fitted intercept (with the name Intercept in the first column).

approxfilename:

Two columns: First column is SNP names in same order as in genotypesfilename, second column is approximate p-values.

permfilename:

Two columns: First column is SNP names in same order as in genotypesfilename, second column is permutation p-values.

Warning

When data are large, the permutation test p-values may take a very long time to compute. It is recommended not to request permutation test p-values (using the argument permfilename) when data are large.

Predict phenotypes from genome-wide SNP data based on a file of coefficients

Description

Predict phenotypes from genome-wide SNP data based on a file of coefficients. Genotypes and fitted coefficients are provided as filenames, allowing the computation of fitted probabilities when SNP data are too large to be read into R.

Usage

linearRidgeGenotypesPredict(genotypesfilename, betafilename, phenotypesfilename = NULL,
verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

genotypesfilename

character string: path to file containing SNP genotypes coded 0, 1, 2. See Input file formats.

betafilename

character string: path to file containing fitted coefficients. See Input file formats.

phenotypesfilename

(optional) character string: path to file in which to write out the predicted phenotypes. See Output file formats. Whether or not this argument is supplied, the fitted coefficients are also returned by the function.

verbose

Logical: If TRUE, additional information is printed to the R outupt as the code runs. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

A vector of fitted values, the same length as the number of individuals whose data are in genotypesfilename. If phenotypesfilename is supplied, the fitted values are also written there.

Input file formats

genotypesfilename:

A header row, plus one row for each individual, one SNP per column. The header row contains SNP names. SNPs are coded as 0, 1, 2 for minor allele count. Missing values are not accommodated.

betafilename:

Two columns: First column is SNP names in same order as in genotypesfilename, second column is fitted coefficients. If the coefficients include an intercept then the first row of betafilename should contain it with the name Intercept in the first column. An Intercept thus labelled will be used appropriately in predicting the phenotypes. SNP names must match those in genotypesfilename. The format of betafilename is that of the output of linearRidgeGenotypes, meaning linearRidgeGenotypesPredict can be used to predict using coefficients fitted using linearRidgeGenotypes (see the example).

Output file format

Whether or not phenotypesfilename is provided, predicted phenotypes are returned to the R workshpace. If phenotypesfilename is provided, predicted phenotypes are written to the file specified (in addition).

phenotypesfilename:

One column, containing predicted phenotypes, one individual per row.

signif.stars = getOption("show.signif.stars"), all.coef = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'pvalsRidgeLinear'
plot(x, y = NULL, ...)

## S3 method for class 'pvalsRidgeLogistic'
plot(x, y = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

For the pvals methods, an object of class "ridgeLinear" or "ridgeLogistic", typically from a call to "linearRidge" or "logisticRidge". For the print and plot methods, an object of class "pvalsRidgeLinear" or "pvalsRidgeLogistic", typically from a call to "pvals".

digits

minimum number of significant digits to be used for most numbers

signif.stars

logical; if TRUE, P-values are additionally encoded visually as significance stars in order to help scanning of long coefficient tables. It defaults to the show.signif.stars slot of options.

all.coef

Logical. Should p-values for all the ridge regression parameters be printed, or only the one from the ridge parameter chosen using the method of Cule et al (2012)

y

Dummy argument for compatibility with the default plot method. Ignored.

...

further arguments to be passed to or from other methods

Details

Standard errors, test statistics and p-values are computed using coefficients and data on the scale that was used to fit them. If the coefficients were standardized before the model was fitted, then the p-values relate to the scaled data.

Value

For the pvals methods, an object of class "pvalsRidgeLinear" or "pvalsRidgeLogistic" which is a list with elements

coef

The (scaled) regression coefficients

se

The standard errors of the regression coefficients

tstat

The test statistic of the regression coefficients

pval

The p-values of the regression coefficients

isScaled

Were the data scaled before the regression coefficients were fitted?

For the print methods, the argument x is returned invisibly.
