LRTH (version 1.3)

LRT_H: The Function for Likelihood Ratio Test Accounting for Genetic Heterogeneity

Description

It gives the asymptotic p-value of the LRT_H test.

Usage

LRT_H(x, y)

Arguments

x

a n x 1 vector of genotypic score for SNP (i.e. 0, 1 or 2, the number of minor alleles of a SNP); n is the number of observations.

y

a n x 1 vector of disease status; case/xcontrol: 1/0; ; n is the number of observations.

Value

The asymptotic p-value of LRT_H test.

Details

Missing values in either x or y (i.e. genotype or disease status) will be removed.
