Mixed Logistic Regression for Genome-Wide Analysis Studies (GWAS).
Description
Fast approximate methods for mixed logistic regression in genome-wide analysis studies (GWAS). Two computationnally efficient methods are proposed for obtaining effect size estimates (beta) in Mixed Logistic Regression in GWAS: the Approximate Maximum Likelihood Estimate (AMLE), and the Offset method. The wald test obtained with AMLE is identical to the score test. Data can be genotype matrices in plink format, or dosage (VCF files). The methods are described in details in Milet et al (2020) <doi:10.1101/2020.01.17.910109>.
