Title: Statistical Analysis of Haplotypes with Traits and Covariates when Linkage Phase is Ambiguous
Description: Routines for the analysis of indirectly measured haplotypes. The statistical methods assume that all subjects are unrelated and that haplotypes are ambiguous (due to unknown linkage phase of the genetic markers). The main functions are: haplo.em(), haplo.glm(), haplo.score(), and haplo.power(); all of which have detailed examples in the vignette.

 y <- hla.demo$resp
 y.bin <- 1*(hla.demo$resp.cat=="low")

# set up a genotype array as a model.matrix for inserting into data frame
# Note that hla.demo is a data.frame, and we need to subset to columns
# of interest. Also also need to convert to a matrix object, so that
# setupGeno can code alleles and convert geno to 'model.matrix' class.

The working fitted values within the fitted object are from this expanded model matrix, and the fitted values from this method are calculated from the weighted fitted value for the subject across all their haplotype pairs.

Value

vector of fitted values

Counts of Total Haplotype Pairs Produced by Genotypes

Description

Provide a count of all possible haplotype pairs for each subject, according to the phenotypes in the rows of the geno matrix. The count for each row includes the count for complete phenotypes, as well as possible haplotype pairs for phenotypes where there are missing alleles at any of the loci.

Usage

geno.count.pairs(geno)

Arguments

geno

Matrix of alleles, such that each locus has a pair of adjacent columns of alleles, and the order of columns corresponds to the order of loci on a chromosome. If there are K loci, then geno has 2*K columns. Rows represent all observed alleles for each subject, their phenotype.

Details

When a subject has no missing alleles, and has h heterozygous sites, there are 2**(h-1) haplotype pairs that are possible ('**'=power). For loci with missing alleles, we consider all possible pairs of alleles at those loci. Suppose that there are M loci with missing alleles, and let the vector V have values 1 or 0 acccording to whether these loci are imputed to be heterozygous or homozygous, respectively. The length of V is M. The total number of possible states of V is 2**M. Suppose that the vector W, also of length M, provides a count of the number of possible heterozygous/homozygous states at the loci with missing data. For example, if one allele is missing, and there are K possible alleles at that locus, then there can be one homozygous and (K-1) heterozygous genotypes. If two alleles are missing, there can be K homozygous and K(K-1)/2 heterozygous genotypes. Suppose the function H(h+V) counts the total number of heterozygous sites among the loci without missing data (of which h are heterozygous) and the imputed loci (represented by the vector V). Then, the total number of possible pairs of haplotypes can be respresented as SUM(W*H(h+V)), where the sum is over all possible values for the vector V.

Value

Vector where each element gives a count of the number haplotype pairs that are consistent with a subject's phenotype, where a phenotype may include 0, 1, or 2 missing alleles at any locus.

Compute Generalized Inverse of Input Matrix

Description

Singular value decomposition (svd) is used to compute a generalized inverse of input matrix.

Usage

Ginv(x, eps=1e-6)

Arguments

x

A matrix.

eps

minimum cutoff for singular values in svd of x

Details

The svd function uses the LAPACK standard library to compute the singular values of the input matrix, and the rank of the matrix is determined by the number of singular values that are at least as large as max(svd)*eps, where eps is a small value. For S-PLUS, the Matrix library is required (Ginv loads Matrix if not already done so).

Value

List with components:

Ginv

Generalized inverse of x.

rank

Rank of matrix x.

Haplotype Association Analysis in a Case-Control design

Description

Combine results from haplo.score, haplo.group, and haplo.glm for case-control study designs. Analyze the association between the binary (case-control) trait and the haplotypes relevant to the unrelated individuals' genotypes.

Usage

haplo.cc(y, geno, x.adj=NA, locus.label=NA, ci.prob=0.95,
         miss.val=c(0,NA), weights=NULL, eps.svd=1e-5, simulate=FALSE,
         sim.control=score.sim.control(), control=haplo.glm.control())

Arguments

y

Vector of trait values, must be 1 for cases and 0 for controls.

geno

Matrix of alleles, such that each locus has a pair of adjacent columns of alleles, and the order of columns corresponds to the order of loci on a chromosome. If there are K loci, then ncol(geno) = 2*K. Rows represent alleles for each subject.

x.adj

Matrix of non-genetic covariates used to adjust the score statistics. Note that intercept should not be included, as it will be added in this function.

ci.prob

Probability level for confidence interval on the Odds Ratios of each haplotype to span the true value.

locus.label

Vector of labels for loci, of length K (see definition of geno matrix)

miss.val

Vector of codes for missing values of alleles

weights

the weights for observations (rows of the data frame). By default, all observations are weighted equally. One use is to correct for over-sampling of cases in a case-control sample.

eps.svd

epsilon value for singular value cutoff; to be used in the generalized inverse calculation on the variance matrix of the score vector. The degrees of freedom for the global score test is 1 less than the number of haplotypes that are scored (k-1). The degrees of freedom is calculated from the rank of the variance matrix for the score vector. In some instances of numeric instability, the singular value decomposition indicates full rank (k). One remedy has been to give a larger epsilon value.

simulate

Logical: if [F]alse, no empirical p-values are computed; if [T]rue, simulations are performed within haplo.score. Specific simulation parameters can be controlled in the sim.control parameter list.

sim.control

A list of control parameters to determine how simulations are performed for simulated p-values. The list is created by the function score.sim.control and the default values of this function can be changed as desired. See score.sim.control for details.

control

A list of control parameters for managing the execution of haplo.cc. The list is created by the function haplo.glm.control, which also manages control parameters for the execution of haplo.em.

Details

All function calls within haplo.cc are for the analysis of association between haplotypes and the case-control status (binomial trait). No additional covariates may be modeled with this function. Odd Ratios are in reference to the baseline haplotype. Odds Ratios will change if a different baseline is chosen using haplo.glm.control.

Value

A list including the haplo.score object (score.lst), vector of subject counts by case and control group (group.count), haplo.glm object (fit.lst), confidence interval probability (ci.prob), and a data frame (cc.df) with the following components:

haplotypes

The first K columns contain the haplotypes used in the analysis.

Hap-Score

Score statistic for association of haplotype with the binary trait.

p-val

P-value for the haplotype score statistic, based on a chi-square distribution with 1 degree of freedom.

sim.p.val

Vector of p-values for score.haplo, based on simulations in haplo.score (omitted when simulations not performed). P-value of score.global based on simulations (set equal to NA when simulate=F).

pool.hf

Estimated haplotype frequency for cases and controls pooled together.

control.hf

Estimated haplotype frequency for control group subjects.

case.hf

Estimated haplotype frequency for case group subjects.

glm.eff

The haplo.glm function modeled the haplotype effects as: baseline (Base), additive haplotype effect (Eff), or rare haplotypes pooled into a single group (R).

OR.lower

Lower limit of the Odds Ratio Confidence Interval.

OR

Odds Ratio based on haplo.glm model estimated coefficient for the haplotype.

OR.upper

Upper limit of the Odds Ratio Confidence Interval.

Build a design matrix for haplotypes

Description

Build a design matrix for haplotypes estimated from a haplo.em object.

Usage

haplo.design(obj, haplo.effect="additive", hapcodes=NA, min.count=5, haplo.base=NA)

Arguments

obj

an object created from haplo.em

haplo.effect

The "effect" pattern of haplotypes on the response. This parameter determines the coding for scoring the haplotypes. Valid coding options for heterozygous and homozygous carriers of a haplotype are "additive" (1, 2, respectively), "dominant" (1,1, respectively), and "recessive" (0, 1, respectively).

hapcodes

codes assigned in haplo.em, corresponding to the row numbers in the haplotypes matrix item in obj

min.count

The minimum number of estimated counts of the haplotype in the sample in order for a haplotype to be included in the design matrix.

haplo.base

code for which haplotype will be the reference group, or to be considered the baseline of a model. The code is the row number of the haplotypes matrix in obj. This haplotype is removed from the design matrix.

Details

First a matrix is made for the possible haplotypes for each person, coded for the haplo.effect, weighted by the posterior probability of those possible haplotypes per person, and then collapsed back to a single row per person.

Value

Matrix of columns for haplotype effects. Column names are "hap.k" where k is the row number of the unique haplotypes within the haplo.em object's "haplotypes" item.

EM Computation of Haplotype Probabilities, with Progressive Insertion of Loci

Description

For genetic marker phenotypes measured on unrelated subjects, with linkage phase unknown, compute maximum likelihood estimates of haplotype probabilities. Because linkage phase is unknown, there may be more than one pair of haplotypes that are consistent with the oberved marker phenotypes, so posterior probabilities of pairs of haplotypes for each subject are also computed. Unlike the usual EM which attempts to enumerate all possible pairs of haplotypes before iterating over the EM steps, this "progressive insertion" algorithm progressively inserts batches of loci into haplotypes of growing lengths, runs the EM steps, trims off pairs of haplotypes per subject when the posterior probability of the pair is below a specified threshold, and then continues these insertion, EM, and trimming steps until all loci are inserted into the haplotype. The user can choose the batch size. If the batch size is chosen to be all loci, and the threshold for trimming is set to 0, then this algorithm reduces to the usual EM algorithm.

Usage

haplo.em(geno, locus.label=NA, miss.val=c(0, NA), weight, control= 
           haplo.em.control())

Arguments

geno

matrix of alleles, such that each locus has a pair of adjacent columns of alleles, and the order of columns corresponds to the order of loci on a chromosome. If there are K loci, then ncol(geno) = 2*K. Rows represent the alleles for each subject.

locus.label

vector of labels for loci.

miss.val

vector of values that represent missing alleles in geno.

weight

weights for observations (rows of geno matrix).

control

list of control parameters. The default is constructed by the function haplo.em.control. The default behavior of this function results in the following parameter settings: loci.insert.order=1:n.loci, insert.batch.size=min(4,n.loci), min.posterior= 0.0001, tol=0.00001, max.iter=500, random.start=0 (no random start), iseed=NULL (no saved seed to start random start), verbose=0 (no printout during EM iterations). See haplo.em.control for more details.

Details

The basis of this progressive insertion algorithm is from the sofware snphap by David Clayton. Although some of the features and control parameters of this S-PLUS version are modeled after snphap, there are substantial differences, such as extension to allow for more than two alleles per locus, and some other nuances on how the alogrithm is implemented.

Value

list with components:

converge

indicator of convergence of the EM algorithm (1 = converge, 0 = failed).

lnlike

value of lnlike at last EM iteration (maximum lnlike if converged).

lnlike.noLD

value of lnlike under the null of linkage equilibrium at all loci.

lr

likelihood ratio statistic to test the final lnlike against the lnlike that assumes complete linkage equilibrium among all loci (i.e., haplotype frequencies are products of allele frequencies).

df.lr

degrees of freedom for likelihood ratio statistic. The df for the unconstrained final model is the number of non-zero haplotype frequencies minus 1, and the df for the null model of complete linkage equilibrium is the sum, over all loci, of (number of alleles - 1). The df for the lr statistic is df[unconstrained] - df[null]. This can result in negative df, if many haplotypes are estimated to have zero frequency, or if a large amount of trimming occurs, when using large values of min.posterior in the list of control parameters.

hap.prob

vector of mle's of haplotype probabilities. The ith element of hap.prob corresponds to the ith row of haplotype.

locus.label

vector of labels for loci, of length K (see definition of input values).

subj.id

vector of id's for subjects used in the analysis, based on row number of input geno matrix. If subjects are removed, then their id will be missing from subj.id.

rows.rem

now defunct, but set equal to a vector of length 0, to be compatible with other functions that check for rows.rem.

indx.subj

vector for row index of subjects after expanding to all possible pairs of haplotypes for each person. If indx.subj=i, then i is the ith row of geno. If the ith subject has n possible pairs of haplotypes that correspond to their marker genotype, then i is repeated n times.

nreps

vector for the count of haplotype pairs that map to each subject's marker genotypes.

max.pairs

vector of maximum number of pairs of haplotypes per subject that are consistent with their marker data in the matrix geno. The length of max.pairs = nrow(geno). This vector is computed by geno.count.pairs.

hap1code

vector of codes for each subject's first haplotype. The values in hap1code are the row numbers of the unique haplotypes in the returned matrix haplotype.

hap2code

similar to hap1code, but for each subject's second haplotype.

post

vector of posterior probabilities of pairs of haplotypes for a person, given their marker phenotypes.

haplotype

matrix of unique haplotypes. Each row represents a unique haplotype, and the number of columns is the number of loci.

control

list of control parameters for algorithm. See haplo.em.control

Note

Sorted order of haplotypes with character alleles is system-dependent, and can be controlled via the LC_COLLATE locale environment variable. Different locale settings can cause results to be non-reproducible even when controlling the random seed.

Create the Control Parameters for the EM Computation of Haplotype Probabilities, with Progressive Insertion of Loci

Description

Create a list of parameters that control the EM algorithm for estimating haplotype frequencies, based on progressive insertion of loci. Non-default parameters for the EM algorithm can be set as parameters passed to haplo.em.control.

Usage

haplo.em.control(loci.insert.order=NULL, insert.batch.size = 6,
                             min.posterior = 1e-09, tol = 1e-05,
                             max.iter=5000, random.start=0, n.try = 10,
                             iseed=NULL, max.haps.limit=2e6, verbose=0)

Arguments

loci.insert.order

Numeric vector with specific order to insert the loci. If this value is NULL, the insert order will be in sequential order (1, 2, ..., No. Loci).

insert.batch.size

Number of loci to be inserted in a single batch.

min.posterior

Minimum posterior probability of a haplotype pair, conditional on observed marker genotypes. Posteriors below this minimum value will have their pair of haplotypes "trimmed" off the list of possible pairs. If all markers in low LD, we recommend using the default. If markers have at least moderate LD, can increase this value to use less memory.

tol

If the change in log-likelihood value between EM steps is less than the tolerance (tol), it has converged.

max.iter

Maximum number of iterations allowed for the EM algorithm before it stops and prints an error. If the error is printed, double max.iter.

random.start

If random.start = 0, then the inititial starting values of the posteriors for the first EM attempt will be based on assuming equal posterior probabilities (conditional on genotypes). If random.start = 1, then the initial starting values of the first EM attempt will be based on assuming a uniform distribution for the initial posterior probabilities.

n.try

Number of times to try to maximize the lnlike by the EM algorithm. The first try uses, as initial starting values for the posteriors, either equal values or uniform random variables, as determined by random.start. All subsequent tries will use random uniform values as initial starting values for the posterior probabilities.

iseed

An integer or a saved copy of .Random.seed. This allows simulations to be reproduced by using the same initial seed.

max.haps.limit

Maximum number of haplotypes for the input genotypes. It is used as the amount of memory to allocate in C for the progressive-insertion E-M steps. Within haplo.em, the first step is to try to allocate the sum of the result of geno.count.pairs(), if that exceeds max.haps.limit, start by allocating max.haps.limit. If that is exceeded in the progressive-insertions steps, the C function doubles the memory until it can no longer request more.

verbose

Logical, if TRUE, print procedural messages to the screen. If FALSE, do not print any messages.

Details

The default is to use n.try = 10. If this takes too much time, it may be worthwhile to decrease n.try. Other tips for computing haplotype frequencies for a large number of loci, particularly if some have many alleles, is to decrease the batch size (insert.batch.size), increase the memory (max.haps.limit), and increase the probability of trimming off rare haplotypes at each insertion step (min.posterior).

Value

A list of the parameters passed to the function.

GLM Regression of Trait on Ambiguous Haplotypes

Description

Perform glm regression of a trait on haplotype effects, allowing for ambiguous haplotypes. This method performs an iterative two-step EM, with the posterior probabilities of pairs of haplotypes per subject used as weights to update the regression coefficients, and the regression coefficients used to update the posterior probabilities.

Usage

haplo.glm(formula=formula(data), family=gaussian, data=parent.frame(),
           weights, na.action="na.geno.keep", start=NULL, 
           locus.label=NA, control=haplo.glm.control(), 
           method="glm.fit", model=TRUE, x=FALSE, y=TRUE, 
           contrasts=NULL, ...)

Arguments

formula

a formula expression as for other regression models, of the form response ~ predictors. For details, see the documentation for lm and formula.

family

a family object. This is a list of expressions for defining the link, variance function, initialization values, and iterative weights for the generalized linear model. Supported families are: gaussian, binomial, poisson. Currently, only the logit link is implemented for binimial.

data

a data frame in which to interpret the variables occurring in the formula. A CRITICAL element of the data frame is the matrix of genotypes, denoted here as "geno", although an informative name should be used in practice. This geno matrix is actually a matrix of alleles, such that each locus has a pair of adjacent columns of alleles, and the order of columns corresponds to the order of loci on a chromosome. If there are K loci, then ncol(geno) = 2*K. Rows represent the alleles for each subject. It is also CRITICAL that this matrix is defined as a model.matrix, so the columns of the matrix are packaged together into a single matrix object. If geno is a matrix of alleles, then before adding it to the data frame, use the setupGeno() function, which will assign this correct class. The function will also recode alleles to numeric starting from 1, while saving the original alleles in the unique.alleles attribute. This attribute is required in haplo.glm.

weights

the weights for observations (rows of the data frame). By default, all observations are weighted equally.

na.action

a function to filter missing data. This is applied to the model.frame. The default value of na.action=na.geno.keep will keep observations with some (but not all) missing alleles, but exclude observations missing any other data (e.g., response variable, other covariates, weight). The EM algorithm for ambiguous haplotypes accounts for missing alleles. Similar to the usual glm, na.fail creates an error if any missing values are found, and a third possible alternative is na.exclude, which deletes observations that contain one or more missing values for any data, including alleles.

start

a vector of initial values on the scale of the linear predictor.

locus.label

vector of labels for loci.

control

list of control parameters. The default is constructed by the function haplo.glm.control. The items in this list control the regression modeling of the haplotypes (e.g., additive, dominant, recessive effects of haplotypes; which haplotype is chosen as the baseline for regression; how to handle rare haplotypes; control of the glm function - maximum number of iterations), and the EM algorithm for estimating initial haplotype frequencies. See haplo.glm.control for details.

method

currently, glm.fit is the only method allowed.

model

logical, if model=TRUE, the model.frame is returned.

x

logical, if x=TRUE, the model.matrix is returned.

y

logical, if y=TRUE, the response variable is returned.

contrasts

currently ignored

...

other arguments that may be passed - currently ignored.

Details

To properly prepare the data frame, the genotype matrix must be processed by setupGeno, and then included in the data frame with the response and other variables.

For binomial family, the initialization of values gives warnings if non-integer number of successes, which is a concern in these models because of the weights of posterior probability of each haplotype pair per subject. We supress the warnings by defining a haplo.binomial family, which we use if family=binomial is used.

Value

An object of class "haplo.glm" is returned. The output object from haplo.glm has all the components of a glm object, with a few more. It is important to note that some of the returned components correpond to the "expanded" version of the data. This means that each observation is expanded into the number of terms in the observation's posterior distribution of haplotype pairs, given the marker data. For example, when fitting the response y on haplotype effects, the value of y[i], for the ith observation, is replicated m[i] times, where m[i] is the number of pairs of haplotypes consistent with the observed marker data. The returned components that are expanded are indicated below by [expanded] in the definition of the component.

These expanded components may need to be collapsed, depending on the objective of the user. For example, when considering the influence of an observation, it may make sense to examine the expanded residuals for a single observation, perhaps plotted against the haplotypes for that observation. In contrast, it would not be sensible to plot all residuals against non-genetic covariates, without first collapsing the expanded residuals for each observation. To collapse, one can use the average residual per observation, weighted according to the posterior probabilities. The appropriate weight can be computed as wt = weight.expanded * haplo.post.info[[post]]. Then, the weighted average can be calculated as with(fit, tapply(residuals * wt, haplo.post.info[["indx"]], sum).

coefficients

the coefficients of the linear.predictors, which multiply the columns of the model matrix. The names of the coefficients are the names of the column of the model matrix. For haplotype coefficients, the names are the concatentation of name of the geno matrix with a haplotype number. The haplotype number corresponds to the index of the haplotype. The default print will show the coefficients with haplotype number, along with the alleles that define the haplotype, and the estimated haplotype frequency. If the model is over-determined there will be missing values in the coefficients corresponding to inestimable coefficients.

residuals

[expanded] residuals from the final weighted least squares fit; also known as working residuals, these are typically not interpretable without rescaling by the weights (see glm.object and residuals.haplo.glm).

fitted.values

[expanded] fitted mean values, obtained by transforming linear.predictors using the inverse link function (see glm.object).

effects

[expaded] orthogonal, single-degree-of-freedom effects (see lm.object).

R

the triangular factor of the decomposition (see lm.object).

rank

the computed rank (number of linearly independent columns in the model matrix), which is the model degrees of freedom - see lm.object.

assign

the list of assignments of coefficients (and effects) to the terms in the model (see lm.object).

df.residual

[expanded] number of degrees of freedom for residuals, corresponding to the expanded data.

prior.weights

[expanded] input weights after expanding according to the number of pairs of haplotypes consistent with an observation's marker genotype data.

family

a 3 element character vector giving the name of the family, the link and the variance function; mainly for printing purposes.

linear.predictors

[expanded] linear fit, given by the product of the model matrix and the coefficients. In a glm, eta.

deviance

up to a constant, minus twice the maximized log-likelihood. Similar to the residual sum of squares.

null.deviance

the deviance corresponding to the model with no predictors.

call

an image of the call that produced the object, but with the arguments all named and with the actual formula included as the formula argument.

iter

the number of IRLS iterations used to compute the estimates, for the last step of the EM fit of coefficients.

y

expanded response.

contrasts

a list containing sufficient information to construct the contrasts used to fit any factors occurring in the model (see lm.object).

lnlike

log-likelihood of the fitted model.

lnlike.null

log-likelihood of the null model (intercept-only).

lrt

likelihood ratio test statistic to test whether all coefficients (excepet intercept) are zero: 2*(lnlike - lnlike.null)

terms

an object of mode expression and class term summarizing the formula, but not complete for the final model. Because this does not represent expansion of the design matrix for the haplotypes, it is typically not of direct relevance to users.

control

list of all control parameters

haplo.unique

the data.frame of unique haplotypes

haplo.base

the index of the haplotype used as the base-line for the regression model. To see the actual haplotype definition, use the following: with(fit, haplo.unique[haplo.base,]), where fit is the saved haplo.glm object (e.g., fit <- haplo.glm(y ~ geno, ...) ).

haplo.freq

the final estimates of haplotype frequencies, after completing EM steps of updating haplotype frequencies and regression coefficients. The length of haplo.freq is the number of rows of haplo.unique, and the order of haplo.freq is the same as that for the rows of haplo.unique. So, the frequencies of the unique haplotypes can be viewed as with(fit, cbind(haplo.unique, haplo.freq)).

haplo.freq.init

the initial estimates of haplotype frequencies, based on the EM algorithm for estimating haplotype frequencies, ingnoring the trait. These can be compared with haplo.freq, to see the impact of using the regression model to update the haplotype frequencies.

converge.em

T/F whether the EM-glm steps converged

haplo.common

the indices of the haplotypes determined to be "common" enough to estimate their corresponding regression coefficients.

haplo.rare

the indices of all the haplotypes determined to be too rare to estimate their specific regression coefficients.

haplo.rare.term

T/F whether the "rare" term is included in the haplotype regression model.

haplo.names

the names of the coefficients that represent haplotype effects.

haplo.post.info

a data.frame of information regarding the posterior probabilites. The columns of this data.frame are: indx (the index of the input obsevation; if the ith observation is repeated m times, then indx will show m replicates of i; hence, indx will correspond to the "expanded" observations); hap1 and hap2 (the indices of the haplotypes; if hap1=j and hap2=k, then the two haplotypes in terms of alleles are haplo.unique[j,] and haplo.unique[k,] from the fitted object); post.init (the initial posterior probability, based on haplo.freq.init); post (the final posterior probability, based on haplo.freq).

x

the model matrix, with [expanded] rows, if x=T.

info

the observed information matrix, based on Louis' formula. The upper left submatrix is for the regression coefficient, the lower right submatrix for the haplotype frequencies, and the remaining is the information between regression coefficients and haplotype frequencies.

var.mat

the variance-covariance matrix of regression coefficients and haplotype frequencies, based on the inverse of info. Upper left submatrix is for regression coefficients, lower right submatrix for haplotype frequencies.

haplo.elim

the indices of the haplotypes eliminated from the info and var.mat matrices because their frequencies are less than haplo.min.info (the minimum haplotype frequency required for computation of the information matrix - see haplo.glm.control)

missing

a matrix of logical values, indicating whether rows of data were removed for missing values in either genotype matrix (genomiss) or any other variables (yxmiss), such as y, other covariates, or weights.

rank.info

rank of information (info) matrix.

Create list of control parameters for haplo.glm

Description

Create a list of control pararameters for haplo.glm. If no parameters are passed to this function, then all default values are used.

Usage

haplo.glm.control(haplo.effect="add", haplo.base=NULL,
                  haplo.min.count=NA, haplo.freq.min=.01,
                  sum.rare.min=0.001, haplo.min.info=0.001, 
                  keep.rare.haplo=TRUE,
                  eps.svd=sqrt(.Machine$double.eps),
                  glm.c=glm.control(maxit=500), 
                  em.c=haplo.em.control())

Arguments

haplo.effect

the "effect" of a haplotypes, which determines the covariate (x) coding of haplotypes. Valid options are "additive" (causing x = 0, 1, or 2, the count of a particular haplotype), "dominant" (causing x = 1 if heterozygous or homozygous carrier of a particular haplotype; x = 0 otherwise), and "recessive" (causing x = 1 if homozygous for a particular haplotype; x = 0 otherwise).

haplo.base

the index for the haplotype to be used as the base-line for regression. By default, haplo.base=NULL, so that the most frequent haplotype is chosen as the base-line.

haplo.min.count

The minimum number of expected counts for a haplotype from the sample to be included in the model. The count is based on estimated haplotype frequencies. Suggested minimum is 5.

haplo.freq.min

the minimum haplotype frequency for a haplotype to be included in the regression model as its own effect. The haplotype frequency is based on the EM algorithm that estimates haplotype frequencies independent of trait.

sum.rare.min

the sum of the "rare" haplotype frequencies must be larger than sum.rare.min in order for the pool of rare haplotypes to be included in the regression model as a separate term. If this condition is not met, then the rare haplotypes are pooled with the base-line haplotype (see keep.rare.haplo below).

haplo.min.info

the minimum haplotype frequency for determining the contribution of a haplotype to the observed information matrix. Haplotypes with less frequency are dropped from the observed information matrix. The haplotype frequency is that from the final EM that iteratively updates haplotype frequencies and regression coefficients.

keep.rare.haplo

TRUE/FALSE to determine if the pool of rare haplotype should be kept as a separate term in the regression model (when keep.rare.haplo=TRUE), or pooled with the base-line haplotype (when keep.rare.haplo=FALSE).

eps.svd

argument to be passed to Ginv for the generalized inverse of the information matrix, helps to determine the number of singular values

glm.c

list of control parameters for the usual glm.control (see glm.control).

em.c

list of control parameters for the EM algorithm to estimate haplotype frequencies, independent of trait (see haplo.em.control).

Value

the list of above components

Frequencies for Haplotypes by Grouping Variable

Description

Calculate maximum likelihood estimates of haplotype probabilities for the entire dataset and separately for each subset defined by the levels of a group variable. Only autosomal loci are considered.

Usage

Arguments

group

Group can be of logical, numeric, character, or factor class type.

geno

Matrix of alleles, such that each locus has a pair of adjacent columns of alleles, and the order of columns corresponds to the order of loci on a chromosome. If there are K loci, then geno has 2*K columns. Rows represent all observed alleles for each subject.

locus.label

Vector of labels for loci, of length K (see definition of geno matrix).

miss.val

Vector of codes for allele missing values.

weight

weights for observations (rows of geno matrix). One reason to use is to adjust for disproportionate sample of sub-groups. Weights only used in the frequency calculation for the pooled subject.

group.df

A data frame with the columns described as follows. -haplotype: Names for the K columns for the K alleles in the haplotypes. -total: Estimated frequencies for haplotypes from the total sample. -group.name.i: Estimated haplotype frequencies for the haplotype if it occurs in the group referenced by 'i'. Frequency is NA if it doesn't occur for the group. The column name is the actual variable name joined with the ith level of that variable.

group.count

Vector containing the number of subjects for each level of the grouping variable.

n.loci

Number of loci occuring in the geno matrix.

Integer Rank Codes for Haplotypes

Description

Create a vector of integer codes for the input matrix of haplotypes. The haplotypes in the input matrix are converted to character strings, and if there are C unique strings, the integer codes for the haplotypes will be 1, 2, ..., C.

Usage

haplo.hash(hap)

Arguments

hap

A matrix of haplotypes. If there are N haplotypes for K loci, hap have dimensions N x K.

Details

Value

List with elements:

hash

Vector of integer codes for the input data (hap). The value of hash is the row number of the unique haplotypes given in the returned matrix hap.mtx.

hap.mtx

Matrix of unique haplotypes.

Sets up a model frame for haplo.glm

Description

For internal use within the haplo.stats library

Usage

haplo.model.frame(m, locus.label=NA, control=haplo.glm.control())

Arguments

m

model.frame from evaluated formula

locus.label

labels for loci in genotype matrix

control

control parameters for haplo.glm

Details

See haplo.glm description in help file and user manual

Value

A model frame with haplotypes modeled as effects


Compute either power or sample size for haplotype associations in a case-control study.

Description

For a given set of haplotypes, their population frequencies, and assumed logistic regression coefficients (log-odds-ratios per haplotype, assuming a log-additive model of haplotype effects), determine either the sample size (total number of subjects) to achieve a stated power or the power for a stated sample size.

Usage

haplo.power.cc(haplo, haplo.freq, base.index, haplo.beta, case.frac,
prevalence, alpha, sample.size=NULL, power=NULL)

Arguments

haplo

matrix of haplotypes, with rows the different haplotypes and columns the alleles of the haplotypes. For H haplotypes of L loci, haplo has dimension H x L.

haplo.freq

vector of length H for the population haplotype frequencies (corresponding to the rows of haplo)

base.index

integer index of the haplotype considered to be the base-line for logistic regression (index between 1 and H); often, the most common haplotype is chosen for the base-line.

haplo.beta

vector of length H for the haplotype effects: each beta is the log-odds-ratio for the corresponding haplotype effect. The base-line hapoltype should have a beta=0, as this base-line beta coefficient will be automatically calculated according to the haplotype frequencies, the other haplo.beta's, and the disease prevalence.

case.frac

fraction of cases in the total sample size (e.g., case.frac = .5 for typical case-control studies with equal numbers of cases and controls)

prevalence

popultaion disease prevalence (used to calculate the base-line intercept beta)

alpha

type-I error rate

sample.size

total sample size (if power is to be calcualted). Either sample.size or power must be specified, but not both.

power

desired power (if sample.size is to be calculated). Either sample.size or power must be specified, but not both.

Details

Asympotic power calcuations are based on the non-centrality parameter of a non-central chi-square distribution. This non-centrality parameter is determined by the specified regression coefficients ( values in haplo.beta), as well as the distribution of haplotypes (determined by haplo.freq). To account for haplotypes with unknown phase, all possible haplotype pairs are enumerated, and the EM algorithm is used to determine the posterior probabilities of pairs of haplotypes, conditional on unphased genotype data. Because this function uses the function haplo.em, the number of possible haplotypes can be large when there is a large number of loci (i.e., large number of columns in the haplo matrix). If too large, the function haplo.em will run out of memory, making this function (haplo.power.cc) fail. If this occurs, then consider reducing the "size" of the haplotypes, by reducing the number of columns of haplo, and adjusting the corresponding vectors (e.g., haplo.freq, haplo.beta).

Value

list with components:

ss.phased.haplo

sample size for phased haplotypes

ss.unphased.haplo

sample size for unphased haplotypes

power.phased.haplo

power for phased haplotypes

power.unphased.haplo

power for unphased haplotypes

# Compute power for given sample size

haplo.power.cc(haplo, haplo.freq, base.index, haplo.beta, case.frac=.5,
prevalence=.1, alpha=.05, sample.size=11978)

Compute either power or sample size for haplotype associations with a quantitative trait.

Description

For a given set of haplotypes, their population frequencies, and assumed linear regression coefficients (additive model of haplotype effects on a quantitative trait), determine either the sample size to achieve a stated power or the power for a stated sample size.

Usage

haplo.power.qt(haplo, haplo.freq, base.index, haplo.beta, y.mu, y.var,
alpha, sample.size = NULL, power = NULL)

Arguments

haplo

matrix of haplotypes, with rows the different haplotypes and columns the alleles of the haplotypes. For H haplotypes of L loci, haplo has dimension H x L.

haplo.freq

vector of length H for the population haplotype frequencies (corresponding to the rows of haplo)

base.index

integer index of the haplotype considered to be the base-line for logistic regression (index between 1 and H); often, the most common haplotype is chosen for the base-line.

haplo.beta

vector of length H for the haplotype effects: each beta is the amount of expected change per haplotype from the base-line average, and the beta for the base-line (indexed by base.index) is the beta for the intercept.

y.mu

population mean of quantitative trait, y.

y.var

popultaion variance of quantitative trait, y.

alpha

type-I error rate

sample.size

sample size (if power is to be calcualted). Either sample.size or power must be specified, but not both.

power

desired power (if sample.size is to be calculated). Either sample.size or power must be specified, but not both.

Details

Asympotic power calcuations are based on the non-centrality parameter of a non-central F distribution. This non-centrality parameter is determined by the specified regression coefficients ( values in haplo.beta), as well as the distribution of haplotypes (determined by haplo.freq). To account for haplotypes with unknown phase, all possible haplotype pairs are enumerated, and the EM algorithm is used to determine the posterior probabilities of pairs of haplotypes, conditional on unphased genotype data. Because this function uses the function haplo.em, the number of possible haplotypes can be large when there is a large number of loci (i.e., large number of columns in the haplo matrix). If too large, the function haplo.em will run out of memory, making this function (haplo.power.qt) fail. If this occurs, then consider reducing the "size" of the haplotypes, by reducing the number of columns of haplo, and adjusting the corresponding vectors (e.g., haplo.freq, haplo.beta).

Value

list with components:

ss.phased.haplo

sample size for phased haplotypes

ss.unphased.haplo

sample size for unphased haplotypes

power.phased.haplo

power for phased haplotypes

power.unphased.haplo

power for unphased haplotypes

Search for a trait-locus by sliding a fixed-width window over each marker locus and scanning all possible haplotype lengths within the window

Description

Search for haplotypes that have the strongest association with a binary trait (typically case/control status) by sliding a fixed-width window over each marker locus and scanning all possible haplotype lengths within the window. For each haplotype length, a score statistic is computed to compare the set of haplotypes with a given length between cases versus controls. The locus-specific score statistic is the maximum score statistic calculated on loci containing that locus. The maximum score statistic over all haplotype lengths within all possible windows is used for a global test for association. Permutations of the trait are used to compute p-values.

Usage

haplo.scan(y, geno, width=4, miss.val=c(0, NA),
          em.control=haplo.em.control(),
          sim.control=score.sim.control())

haplo.scan.obs(y, em.obj, width)

haplo.scan.sim(y.reord, save.lst, nloci)

Arguments

y

Vector of binary trait values, must be 1 for cases and 0 for controls.

y.reord

Same as y, except the order is permuted

geno

Matrix of alleles, such that each locus has a pair of adjacent columns of alleles, and the order of columns corresponds to the order of loci on a chromosome. If there are K loci, then ncol(geno) = 2*K. Rows represent alleles for each subject.

width

Width of sliding the window

miss.val

Vector of codes for missing values of alleles

em.control

A list of control parameters to determine how to perform the EM algorithm for estimating haplotype frequencies when phase is unknown. The list is created by the function haplo.em.control - see this function for more details.

sim.control

A list of control parameters to determine how simulations are performed for simulated p-values. The list is created by the function score.sim.control and the default values of this function can be changed as desired. See score.sim.control for details.

em.obj

Object returned from haplo.em, performed on geno

save.lst

Information on haplotypes needed for haplo.scan.sim, already calculated in haplo.scan

nloci

number of markers

Details

Search for a region for which the haplotypes have the strongest association with a binary trait by sliding a window of fixed width over each marker locus, and considering all haplotype lengths within each window. To acount for unknown linkage phase, the function haplo.em is called prior to scanning, to create a list of haplotype pairs and posterior probabilities. To illustrate the scanning, consider a 10-locus dataset. When placing a window of width 3 over locus 5, the possible haplotype lengths that contain locus 5 are three (loci 3-4-5, 4-5-6, and 5-6-7), two (loci 4-5, and 5-6) and one (locus 5). For each of these loci subsets a score statistic is computed, which is based on the difference between the mean vector of haplotype counts for cases and that for controls. The maximum of these score statistics, over all possible haplotype lengths within a window, is the locus-specific test statistic. The global test statistic is the maximum over all computed score statistics. To compute p-values, the case/control status is randomly permuted. Simulations are performed until precision criteria are met for all p-values; the criteria are controlled by score.sim.control. See the note for long run times.

Value

A list that has class haplo.scan, which contains the following items:

call

The call to haplo.scan

scan.df

A data frame containing the maximum test statistic for each window around each locus, and its simulated p-value.

max.loc

The loci (locus) which contain(s) the maximum observed test statistic over all haplotype lengths and all windows.

globalp

A p-value for the significance of the global maximum statistic.

nsim

Number of simulations performed

Note

For datasets with many estimated haplotypes, the run-time can be very long.

Score Statistics for Association of Traits with Haplotypes

Description

Compute score statistics to evaluate the association of a trait with haplotypes, when linkage phase is unknown and diploid marker phenotypes are observed among unrelated subjects. For now, only autosomal loci are considered.

Usage

haplo.score(y, geno, trait.type="gaussian", offset = NA, x.adj = NA,
            min.count=5, skip.haplo=min.count/(2*nrow(geno)),
            locus.label=NA, miss.val=c(0,NA), haplo.effect="additive",
            eps.svd=1e-5, simulate=FALSE, sim.control=score.sim.control(),
            em.control=haplo.em.control())

Arguments

y

Vector of trait values. For trait.type = "binomial", y must have values of 1 for event, 0 for no event.

geno

Matrix of alleles, such that each locus has a pair of adjacent columns of alleles, and the order of columns corresponds to the order of loci on a chromosome. If there are K loci, then ncol(geno) = 2*K. Rows represent alleles for each subject.

trait.type

Character string defining type of trait, with values of "gaussian", "binomial", "poisson", "ordinal".

offset

Vector of offset when trait.type = "poisson"

x.adj

Matrix of non-genetic covariates used to adjust the score statistics. Note that intercept should not be included, as it will be added in this function.

min.count

The minimum number of counts for a haplotype to be included in the model. First, the haplotypes selected to score are chosen by minimum frequency greater than skip.haplo (based on min.count, by default). It is also used when haplo.effect is either dominant or recessive. This is explained best in the recessive instance, where only subjects who are homozygous for a haplotype will contribute information to the score for that haplotype. If fewer than min.count subjects are estimated to be affected by that haplotype, it is not scored. A warning is issued if no haplotypes can be scored.

skip.haplo

Minimum haplotype frequency for which haplotypes are scored in the model. By default, the frequency is based on "min.count" divided by the 2*N total haplotype occurrences in the sample.

locus.label

Vector of labels for loci, of length K (see definition of geno matrix)

miss.val

Vector of codes for missing values of alleles

haplo.effect

the "effect" of a haplotypes, which determines the covariate (x) coding of haplotypes. Valid options are "additive" (causing x = 0, 1, or 2, the count of a particular haplotype), "dominant" (causing x = 1 if heterozygous or homozygous carrier of a particular haplotype; x = 0 otherwise), and "recessive" (causing x = 1 if homozygous for a particular haplotype; x = 0 otherwise).

eps.svd

epsilon value for singular value cutoff; to be used in the generalized inverse calculation on the variance matrix of the score vector (see help(Ginv) for details).

simulate

Logical: if FALSE, no empirical p-values are computed; if TRUE, simulations are performed. Specific simulation parameters can be controlled in the sim.control parameter list.

sim.control

A list of control parameters to determine how simulations are performed for simulated p-values. The list is created by the function score.sim.control and the default values of this function can be changed as desired. See score.sim.control for details.

em.control

A list of control parameters to determine how to perform the EM algorithm for estimating haplotype frequencies when phase is unknown. The list is created by the function haplo.em.control - see this function for more details.

Details

Compute the maximum likelihood estimates of the haplotype frequencies and the posterior probabilities of the pairs of haplotypes for each subject using an EM algorithm. The algorithm begins with haplotypes from a subset of the loci and progressively discards those with low frequency before inserting more loci. The process is repeated until haplotypes for all loci are established. The posterior probabilities are used to compute the score statistics for the association of (ambiguous) haplotypes with traits. The glm function is used to compute residuals of the regression of the trait on the non-genetic covariates.

Value

List with the following components:

score.global

Global statistic to test association of trait with haplotypes that have frequencies >= skip.haplo.

df

Degrees of freedom for score.global.

score.global.p

P-value of score.global based on chi-square distribution, with degrees of freedom equal to df.

score.global.p.sim

P-value of score.global based on simulations (set equal to NA when simulate=F).

score.haplo

Vector of score statistics for individual haplotypes that have frequencies >= skip.haplo.

score.haplo.p

Vector of p-values for score.haplo, based on a chi-square distribution with 1 df.

score.haplo.p.sim

Vector of p-values for score.haplo, based on simulations (set equal to NA when simulate=F).

score.max.p.sim

Simulated p-value indicating for simulations the number of times a maximum score.haplo value exceeds the maximum score.haplo from the original data (equal to NA when simulate=F).

haplotype

Matrix of hapoltypes analyzed. The ith row of haplotype corresponds to the ith item of score.haplo, score.haplo.p, and score.haplo.p.sim.

hap.prob

Vector of haplotype probabilies, corresponding to the haplotypes in the matrix haplotype.

locus.label

Vector of labels for loci, of length K (same as input argument).

call

The call to the haplo.score function; useful for recalling what parameters were used.

haplo.effect

The haplotype effect model parameter that was selected for haplo.score.

simulate

Same as function input parameter. If [T]rue, simulation results are included in the haplo.score object.

n.val.global

Vector containing the number of valid simulations used in the global score statistic simulation. The number of valid simulations can be less than the number of simulations requested (by sim.control) if simulated data sets produce unstable variances of the score statistics.

n.val.haplo

Vector containing the number of valid simulations used in the p-value simulations for maximum-score statistic and scores for the individual haplotypes.

Merge haplo.score And haplo.group Objects

Description

Combine information from returned objects of haplo.score and haplo.group, 'score' and 'group' respectively. 'score' and 'group' are sorted differently and 'score' keeps a subset of all the haplotypes while 'group' has all of them. To combine results from the two objects, merge them by haplotype and sort by score of the haplotype. The merged object includes all haplotypes; i.e. those appearing in 'group', but the print default only shows haplotypes which have a score.

Usage

haplo.score.merge(score, group)

Arguments

score

Object returned from haplo.score of class "haplo.score".

group

Object returned from haplo.group of class "haplo.group".

Details

Haplo.score returns score statistic and p-value for haplotypes with an overall frequency above the user-specified threshold, skip.haplo. For haplotypes with frequencies below the threshold, the score and p-value will be NA. Overall haplotype frequencies and for sub-groups are estimated by haplo.group.

Value

Data frame including haplotypes, score-statistics, score p-value, estimated haplotype frequency for all subjects, and haplotype frequency from group subsets.

Side Effects

Warning: The merge will not detect if the group and score objects resulted from different subject phenotypes selected by memory-usage parameters, rm.geno.na and enum.limit. Users must use the same values for these parameters in haplo.score and haplo.group so the merged objects are consistent.

Score Statistics for Association of Traits with Haplotypes

Description

Used to identify sub-haplotypes from a group of loci. Run haplo.score on all contiguous subsets of size n.slide from the loci in a genotype matrix (geno). From each call to haplo.score, report the global score statistic p-value. Can also report global and maximum score statistics simulated p-values.

Usage

haplo.score.slide(y, geno, trait.type="gaussian", n.slide=2,
                  offset = NA, x.adj = NA, min.count=5,
                  skip.haplo=min.count/(2*nrow(geno)),
                  locus.label=NA, miss.val=c(0,NA),
                  haplo.effect="additive", eps.svd=1e-5,
                  simulate=FALSE, sim.control=score.sim.control(),
                  em.control=haplo.em.control())

Arguments

y

Vector of trait values. For trait.type = "binomial", y must have values of 1 for event, 0 for no event.

geno

Matrix of alleles, such that each locus has a pair of adjacent columns of alleles, and the order of columns corresponds to the order of loci on a chromosome. If there are K loci, then ncol(geno) = 2*K. Rows represent alleles for each subject.

trait.type

Character string defining type of trait, with values of "gaussian", "binomial", "poisson", "ordinal".

n.slide

Number of loci in each contiguous subset. The first subset is the ordered loci numbered 1 to n.slide, the second subset is 2 through n.slide+1 and so on. If the total number of loci in geno is n.loci, then there are n.loci - n.slide + 1 total subsets.

offset

Vector of offset when trait.type = "poisson"

x.adj

Matrix of non-genetic covariates used to adjust the score statistics. Note that intercept should not be included, as it will be added in this function.

min.count

The minimum number of counts for a haplotype to be included in the model. First, the haplotypes selected to score are chosen by minimum frequency greater than skip.haplo (based on min.count, by default). It is also used when haplo.effect is either dominant or recessive. This is explained best in the recessive instance, where only subjects who are homozygous for a haplotype will contribute information to the score for that haplotype. If fewer than min.count subjects are estimated to be affected by that haplotype, it is not scored. A warning is issued if no haplotypes can be scored.

skip.haplo

For haplotypes with frequencies < skip.haplo, categorize them into a common group of rare haplotypes.

locus.label

Vector of labels for loci, of length K (see definition of geno matrix).

miss.val

Vector of codes for missing values of alleles.

haplo.effect

The "effect" pattern of haplotypes on the response. This parameter determines the coding for scoring the haplotypes. Valid coding options for heterozygous and homozygous carriers of a haplotype are "additive" (1, 2, respectively), "dominant" (1,1, respectively), and "recessive" (0, 1, respectively).

eps.svd

epsilon value for singular value cutoff; to be used in the generalized inverse calculation on the variance matrix of the score vector.

simulate

Logical, if [F]alse (default) no empirical p-values are computed. If [T]rue simulations are performed. Specific simulation parameters can be controlled in the sim.control parameter list.

sim.control

A list of control parameters used to perform simulations for simulated p-values in haplo.score. The list is created by the function score.sim.control and the default values of this function can be changed as desired.

em.control

A list of control parameters used to perform the em algorithm for estimating haplotype frequencies when phase is unknown. The list is created by the function haplo.em.control and the default values of this function can be changed as desired.

Details

Haplo.score.slide is useful for a series of loci where little is known of the association between a trait and haplotypes. Using a range of n.slide values, the region with the strongest association will consistently have low p-values for locus subsets containing the associated haplotypes. The global p-value measures significance of the entire set of haplotypes for the locus subset. Simulated maximum score statistic p-values indicate when one or a few haplotypes are associated with the trait.

Value

List with the following components:

df

Data frame with start locus, global p-value, simulated global p-value, and simulated maximum-score p-value.

n.loci

Number of loci given in the genotype matrix.

simulate

Same as parameter description above.

haplo.effect

The haplotype effect model parameter that was selected for haplo.score.

n.slide

Same as parameter description above.

locus.label

Same as parameter description above.

n.val.haplo

Vector containing the number of valid simulations used in the maximum-score statistic p-value simulation. The number of valid simulations can be less than the number of simulations requested (by sim.control) if simulated data sets produce unstable variables of the score statistics.

n.val.global

Vector containing the number of valid simulations used in the global score statistic p-value simulation.

Find Location from Mouse Clicks and Print Haplotypes on Plot

Description

Much like the R/Splus locator function is used to find x-y coordinates on a plot. Find all x-y coordinates that are chosen by the user's mouse clicks. Then print haplotype labels at the chosen positions.

Usage

locator.haplo(obj)

Arguments

obj

An object (of class haplo.score) that is returned from haplo.score.

Details

After plotting the results in obj, as from plot(obj), the function locator.haplo is used to place on the plot the text strings for haplotypes of interest. After the function call (e.g., locator.haplo(obj)), the user can click, with the left mouse button, on as many points in the plot as desired. Then, clicking with the middle mouse button will cause the haplotypes to be printed on the plot. The format of a haplotype is "a:b:c", where a, b, and c are alleles, and the separator ":" is used to separate alleles on a haplotype. The algorithm chooses the closest point that the user clicks on, and prints the haplotype either above the point (for points on the lower-half of the plot) or below the point (for points in the upper-half of the plot).

Value

List with the following components:

x.coord

Vector of x-coordinates.

y.coord

Vector of y-coordinates.

hap.txt

Vector of character strings for haplotypes.

Examples

# follow the pseudo-code
#  score.out <-  haplo.score(y, geno, trait.type = "gaussian")

     x.linked=FALSE, sex=NULL, male.code="M", female.code="F", miss.val=NA)

Arguments

allele1

A vector containing the labels for 1 allele for a set of individuals, or optionally a matrix with 2 columns each containing an allele for each person.

allele2

Plot a haplo.score.slide Object

Description

Method function to plot an object of class haplo.score.slide. The p-values from haplo.score.slide are for sub-haplotypes of a larger chromosomal region, and these are plotted to visualize the change in p-values as the sub-haplotype "slides" over a chromosome. Plot -log10(p-value) on the y-axis vs. the loci over which it was computed on the x-axis.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'haplo.score.slide'
plot(x, pval="global", dist.vec=1:x$n.loci, ...)

Arguments

x

The object returned from haplo.score.slide

pval

Character string for the choice of p-value to plot. Options are: "global" (the global score statistic p-value based on an asymptotic chi-square distribution), "global.sim" (the global score statistic simulated p-value), and "max.sim" (the simulated p-value for the maximum score statistic).

dist.vec

Numeric vector for position (i.e., in cM) of the loci along a chromosome. Distances on x-axis will correspond to these positions.

...

Dynamic parameter for the values of additional parameters for the plot method. Some useful options for manageing the x-axis labels are cex.axis, las, and srt.

Details

The x-axis has tick marks for all loci. The y-axis is the -log10() of the selected p-value. For each haplo.score result, plot a horizontal line at the height of -log10(p-value) drawn across the loci over which it was calculated. Therefore a p-value of 0.001 for the first 3 loci will plot as a horizontal line plotted at y=3 covering the first three tick marks. If the p-value for a set of loci is zero or very near zero, it is set to a minimum. Global asymptotic p-values of zero are set to the minimum of an epsilon or the lowest non-zero p-value in the region. Simulated p-values equal to zero are set to 0.5 divided by the total number of simulations performed.

Value

Nothing is returned.

single

Logical, indicating whether to plot p-values for single-locus association tests. If TRUE, the pointwise p-values from the single-locus will be plotted using a dotted line.

minp

Smallest "allowable" p-value; any p-value smaller will be set to log10(minp). The default is the value closest to zero that can be represented in Splus/R.

...

Dynamic parameter for the values of additional parameters for the plot method. Accept the ylim parameter for plot() and other parameters for lines(), points(), and axis(). Recommended values to make locus labels vertical on the x-axis: for R: las=2, cex.axis=1.2 for S+: srt=90, cex.axis=1.2, adj=1

Details

The x-axis has tick marks for all loci. The y-axis is the -log10() of the selected p-value. For the sequential result for each locus, a horizontal line at the height of -log10(p-value) is drawn across the loci combined. The start locus is indicated by a filled triangle and other loci combined with the start locus are indicated by an asterisk or circle.

If the permutation p-value is zero, for plotting purposes it is set to 1/(n.sim+1).

Value

Nothing is returned.

                                "working", "response"), ...)

Arguments

object

A haplo.glm object

type

Type of residuals to return. Options are "deviance" (default), "pearson", "working", and "response". Partial residuals not supported in this method.

...

Optional arguments

Details

Many of the subjects in a haplo.glm fit are expanded in the model matrix with weights used to reflect the posterior probability of the subject's haplotype pairs given their genotype. The working residuals within the fitted object are from this expanded model matrix, and the residuals in this method are calculated from the weighted fitted value for the subject across all their haplotype pairs.

Value

Residuals for each person in the model.

Create the list of control parameters for simulations in haplo.score

Description

In the call to haplo.score, the sim.control parameter is a list of parameters that control the simulations. This list is created by this function, score.sim.control, making it easy to change the default values.

Usage

score.sim.control(p.threshold=0.25, min.sim=1000, max.sim=20000.,verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

p.threshold

A paremeter used to determine p-value precision from Besag and Clifford (1991). For a p-value calculated after min.sim simulations, continue doing simulations until the p-value's sample standard error is less than p.threshold * p-value. The dafault value for p.threshold = 1/4 corresponds approximately to having a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the p-value with a width as wide as the p-value itself. Therefore, simulations are more precise for smaller p-values. Additionally, since simulations are stopped as soon as this criteria is met, p-values may be biased high.

min.sim

The minimum number of simulations to run. To run exactly min.sim simulations, set max.sim = min.sim. Also, if run-time is an issue, a lower minimum (e.g. 500) may be useful, especially when doing simulations in haplo.score.slide.

max.sim

The upper limit of simulations allowed. When the number of simulations reaches max.sim, p-values are approximated based on simulation results at that time.

verbose

Logical, if (T)rue, print updates from every simulation to the screen. If (F)alse, do not print these details.

Details

In simulations for haplo.score, employ the simulation p-value precision criteria of Besag and Clifford (1991). The criteria ensures both the global and the maximum score statistic simulated p-values be precise for small p-values. First, perform min.sim simulations to guarantee sufficient precision for the score statistics on individual haplotypes. Then continue simulations as needed until simulated p-values for both the global and max score statistics meet precision requirements set by p.threshold.

Value

A list of the control parameters:

p.threshold

As described above

min.sim

As described above.

max.sim

As described above

verbose

As described above

Sequential Haplotype Scan Association Analysis for Case-Control Data

Description

Seqhap implements sequential haplotype scan methods to perform association analyses for case-control data. When evaluating each locus, loci that contribute additional information to haplotype associations with disease status will be added sequentially. This conditional evaluation is based on the Mantel-Haenszel (MH) test. Two sequential methods are provided, a sequential haplotype method and a sequential summary method, as well as results based on the traditional single-locus method. Currently, seqhap only works with bialleleic loci (single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs) and binary traits.

Usage

seqhap(y, geno, pos, locus.label=NA, weight=NULL, 
       mh.threshold=3.84, r2.threshold=0.95, haplo.freq.min=0.005, 
       miss.val=c(0, NA), sim.control=score.sim.control(),
       control=haplo.em.control())
## S3 method for class 'seqhap'
print(x, digits=max(options()$digits-2, 5), ...)

Arguments

y

vector of binary response (1=case, 0=control). The length is equal to the number of rows in geno.

geno

matrix of alleles, such that each locus has a pair of adjacent columns of alleles, and the order of columns corresponds to the order of loci on a chromosome. If there are K loci, then ncol(geno)=2*K. Rows represent the alleles for each subject. Currently, only bi-allelic loci (SNPs) are allowed.

pos

vector of physical positions (or relative physical positions) for loci. If there are K loci, length(pos)=K. The scale (in kb, bp, or etc.) doesn't affect the results.

locus.label

vector of labels for the set of loci

weight

weights for observations (rows of geno matrix).

mh.threshold

threshold for the Mantel-Haenszel statistic that evaluates whether a locus contributes additional information of haplotype association to disease, conditional on current haplotypes. The default is 3.84, which is the 95th percentile of the chi-square distribution with 1 degree of freedom.

r2.threshold

threshold for a locus to be skipped. When scanning locus k, loci with correlations r-squared (the square of the Pearson's correlation) greater than r2.threshold with locus k will be ignored, so that the haplotype growing process continues for markers that are further away from locus k.

haplo.freq.min

the minimum haplotype frequency for a haplotype to be included in the association tests. The haplotype frequency is based on the EM algorithm that estimates haplotype frequencies independent of trait.

miss.val

vector of values that represent missing alleles.

sim.control

A list of control parameters to determine how simulations are performed for permutation p-values, similar to the strategy in haplo.score. The list is created by the function score.sim.control and the default values of this function can be changed as desired. Permutations are performed until a p.threshold accuracy rate is met for the three region-based p-values calculated in seqhap. See score.sim.control for details.

control

A list of parameters that control the EM algorithm for estimating haplotype frequencies when phase is unknown. The list is created by the function haplo.em.control - see this function for more details.

x

digits

Number of significant digits to print for numeric values

inlist

matrix that shows which loci are combined for association analysis in the sequential scan. The non-zero values of the kth row of inlist are the indices of the loci combined when scanning locus k.

Examples

data(seqhap.dat)

Create a group of locus objects from a genotype matrix, assign to 'model.matrix' class.

Description

The function makes each pair of columns a locus object, which recodes alleles to numeric and saves the original alleles as an attribute of the model.matrix.

Usage

setupGeno(geno, miss.val=c(0,NA), locus.label=NULL)

Arguments

geno

Matrix of alleles, such that each locus has a pair of adjacent columns of alleles, and the order of columns corresponds to the order of loci on a chromosome. If there are K loci, then ncol(geno) = 2*K. Rows represent alleles for each subject.

miss.val

A vector of codes denoting missing values for allele1 and allele2. Note that NA will always be treated as a missing value, even if not specified in miss.val. Also note that if multiple missing value codes are specified, the original missing value code for a specific individual can not be retrieved from the loci object.

locus.label

vector of labels for the loci

Details

This function contains the essential parts of the loci function, which is no longer within haplo.stats

Value

A 'model.matrix' object with the alleles recoded to numeric values, and the original values are stored in the 'unique.alleles' attribute. The ith item of the unique.alleles list is a vector of unique alleles for the ith locus.

Note

A matrix that contains all elements of mode character will be sorted in alphabetic order. This order may differ across platforms according to your setting of LC_COLLATE. See the note in haplo.em about how this sort order affects results.

Summarize Full Haplotype Enumeration on Genotype Matrix

Description

Provide a summary of missing allele information for each individual in the genotype matrix. The number of loci missing zero, one, or two alleles is computed, as well as the total number of haplotype pairs that could result from the observed phenotype.

Usage

summaryGeno(geno, miss.val=0)

Arguments
