RapidoPGS (version 1.0.2)

wakefield_pp: compute posterior probabilities using Wakefield's approximate Bayes Factors wakefield_pp computes posterior probabilities for a given SNP to be causal for a given SNP under the assumption of a single causal variant.

Description

This function is verbatim of its namesake in cupcake package (github.com/ollyburren/cupcake/)

Usage

wakefield_pp(p, f, N, s, pi_i = 1e-04, sd.prior = 0.2, log.p = FALSE)

Arguments

p

a vector of univariate pvalues from a GWAS

f

a vector of minor allele frequencies taken from some reference population.

N

a scalar or vector for total sample size of GWAS

s

a scalar representing the proportion of cases (n.cases/N)

pi_i

a scalar representing the prior probability (DEFAULT \(1 \times 10^{-4}\))

sd.prior

a scalar representing our prior expectation of \(\beta\) (DEFAULT 0.2). The method assumes a normal prior on the population log relative risk centred at 0 and the DEFAULT value sets the variance of this distribution to 0.04, equivalent to a 95\ is in the range of 0.66-1.5 at any causal variant.

log.p

if FALSE (DEFAULT), p is a p value. If TRUE, p is a log(p) value. Use this if your dataset holds p values too small to be accurately stored without using logs

Value

a vector of posterior probabilities.
