QTrait Tutorial: Distinguishing Specific from Broad Genetic Associations between External Correlates and Common Factors
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to run the QTrait function, a genetically informed method for assessing the external validity of common factors in the genomic space.
rgmodel tutorial: estimating genetic correlations (R) and their sampling covariances (V_R) in Genomic SEM
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to run the rgmodel function. This function estimates the matrix of genetic correlations (R) and the corresponding matrix of their sampling covariances (V_R) from the output of the ldsc() function.
paLDSC: Parallel Analysis based on Multivariate LDSC
The **paLDSC** function allows to identify the number of non-spurious dimensions in exploratory genomic factor analysis. Our method adapts a classic method known as Parallel Analysis (Horn, 1965) to the genomic space. **paLDSC** compares the eigenvalues generated from the eigen decomposition of the LDSC genetic correlation matrix to the eigenvalues of a Monte-Carlo simulated null correlation matrix with random noise drawn from the multivariate LDSC sampling distribution. The suggested number of factors to be extracted corresponds with an eigenvalue exceeding a pre-specified percentile from the corresponding distribution of eigenvalues generated under the null.
AD_Genomic_SEM_Relaxed_GWAX_Tutorial
Genomic SEM relaxed GWAX model tutorial for the joint analysis of direct GWAS and proxy GWAX summary data of complex diseases. The model relaxes standard assumptions and recovers unbiased estimates of common variant SNP heritability and of individual SNP effects under a variety of conditions.
