CNVassoc (version 1.4)

CNVtest: Testing association between a CNV and phenotype

Description

This function perform a Wald test or a Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) to determine whether a CNV is associated with the phenotype.

Usage

CNVtest(x, type = "Wald")
  ## S3 method for class 'CNVtest':
print(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An object of class 'CNVassoc'

type

The statistical test used. Possible values are "Wald" for Wald test or "LRT" for Likelihood Ratio Test

...

Further arguments passed to or from other methods

Value

• An object of class 'CNVtest' with methods for the generic function print, returning the Chi-squared value, its degrees of freedom and the corresponding p-value of CNV significance in the associated test fitted by CNVassoc function.
