compute Z-statistics for xQTL association and bind them to the input x-ome+genome XqtlExperiment

Usage

bind_Zs(xse, omit.hi.maf = FALSE, BPPARAM = BiocParallel::bpparam())

Arguments

xse

XqtlExperiment instance

omit.hi.maf

logical(1), passed to zs4manyYs, defaults to FALSE

BPPARAM

instance of BiocParallelParam

Examples

data(geuv19xse)
lk = geuv19xse[1:20,]
mafs = maf(lk) # only snps here
mins = apply(data.matrix(mcols(getCalls(lk))), 1, min, na.rm=TRUE) # some -1 values
#filterCalls = function(xse, keep) { slot(xse, "calls") = slot(xse, "calls")[keep,]; xse }
lk = filterCalls(lk, which(mafs>.25 & mins > -1))
lk = bind_Zs(lk)
