gcp: Permutation tests using GENECOUNTING

Description

This function is a R port of the GENECOUNTING/PERMUTE program which generates EHPLUS-type statistics including z-tests for individual haplotypes

Usage

gcp(y, cc, g, handle.miss=1, miss.val=0, n.sim=0,
       locus.label=NULL, quietly=FALSE)

Arguments

y

A column of 0/1 indicating cases and controls

cc

analysis indicator, 0 = marker-marker, 1 = case-control

g

the multilocus genotype data

handle.miss

a flag with value 1 indicating missing data are allowed

miss.val

missing value

n.sim

the number of permutations

locus.label

label of each locus

quietly

a flag if TRUE will suppress the screen output

Value

• The returned value is a list containing (p.sim and ph when n.sim > 0):
• x2obs
  the observed chi-squared statistic
• pobs
  the associated p value
• zobs
  the observed z value for individual haplotypes
• p.sim
  simulated p value for the global chi-squared statistic
• ph
  simulated p values for individual haplotypes
