qb.meancomp {qtlbim}R Documentation

Examine grand mean and covariate MCMC samples.

Description

Examine grand mean and covariate Monte Carlo samples to glean estimates of data center and importance of covariates.

Usage

qb.meancomp(qbObject, adjust.covar, ...)
## S3 method for class 'qb.meancomp':
summary(object, percent = 5, ...)
## S3 method for class 'qb.meancomp':
print(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'qb.meancomp':
plot(x, covar, percent = 5, cex, ...)

Arguments

qbObject Object of class qb.
adjust.covar Adjustments to covariates. Default is NA, which adjusts by covariate mean values. Values are assumed to be in order of fixed covariates.
object Object of class qb.meancomp.
x Object of class qb.meancomp.
percent Percentile between 0 and 100 for summaries.
covar Sequence of covariate identifiers for plot.
cex Character expansion for plot symbols. Default shrinks with number of MCMC iterations.
... Extra parameters passed along.

Details

Grand mean is adjusted to mean level of covariates. Diagonal of scatterplot matrix includes density plot. Setting covar = 0 yields a density plot for the grand mean alone.

Value

qb.meancomp is a matrix with columns for the grand mean and for each fixed covariate. Summaries show mean and upper and lower percentiles.
