tableHWE: Test for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

Description

Test the null hypothesis that Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium holds in cases, controls and both populations.

print print the information. Number of digits, and significance level can be changed

Usage

tableHWE(x, strata, ...)

Value

A matrix with p values for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

Arguments

x

an object of class 'setupSNP'

strata

a factor variable for a stratified analysis

...

optional arguments

Author

This function is based on an R function which computes an exact SNP test of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium written by Wigginton JE, Cutler DJ and Abecasis GR available at http://csg.sph.umich.edu/abecasis/Exact/r_instruct.html

Details

This function calculates the HWE test for those variables of class 'snp' in the object x of class 'setupSNP'
