tscc: Power calculation for two-stage case-control design

Description

This function gives power estimates for two-stage case-control design for genetic association.

The false positive rates are calculated as follows,

$$P(|z1|>C1)P(|z2|>C2,sign(z1)=sign(z2))$$ and $$P(|z1|>C1)P(|zj|>Cj||z1|>C1)$$ for replication-based and joint analyses, respectively; where C1, C2, and Cj are threshoulds at stages 1, 2 replication and joint analysis,

$$ z1 = z(p1,p2,n1,n2,pi.samples)$$ $$z2 = z(p1,p2,n1,n2,1-pi.samples)$$ $$zj = sqrt(pi.samples)*z1+sqrt(1-pi.samples)*z2$$

Usage

tscc(model,GRR,p1,n1,n2,M,alpha.genome,pi.samples,pi.markers,K)

Arguments

model

any in c("multiplicative","additive","dominant","recessive")

GRR

genotype relative risk

p1

the estimated risk allele frequency in cases

n1

total number of cases

n2

total number of controls

M

total number of markers

alpha.genome

false positive rate at genome level

pi.samples

sample% to be genotyped at stage 1

pi.markers

markers% to be selected (also used as the false positive rate at stage 1)

K
