LD2sided.pvals {LDtests}R Documentation

P-values and Linkage Disequilibrium measures for several tests of Linkage Disequilibrium

Description

Calculates 2-sided LD tests based on different measures of LD (Kulinskaya and Lewin 2008), 1-sided Fisher's exact test for LD and the conditional p-values proposed in Kulinskaya (2008) to overcome the problems of asymetric distributions.

Usage

LD2sided.pvals(ctable)

Arguments

ctable Vector of the 4 entries in the 2x2 contingency table

Value

pval.cond Conditional p-value
pval.Fish Fisher's p-value (sum of tables less probable than observed)
pval.LR P-value based on the likelihood ratio statistic
pval.r P-value based on the correlation coefficient
pval.Dprime P-value based on D prime
pval.delta P-value based on delta (Devlin and Risch)
pval.Q P-value based on Yule's Q
Prob Probability under the null hypothesis of the observed table
LR Likelihood ratio statistic
r Correlation coefficient
Dprime D prime
