Data simulation using GRAB package

The example data (including 50 families with 10 members and 500 unrelated subjects) in the directory of system.file("extdata", package = "GRAB") were simulated using the functions in GRAB package.

Genotype Simulation

This section demonstrates how to

  • simulate a genotype matrix for unrelated and related subjects
  • make PLINK binary files using the genotype matrix
  • make BGEN files using PLINK binary files

Phenotype Simulation

This section demonstrates how to

  • simulate binary, quantitative, time-to-event, and ordinal categorical phenotypes
  • simulate phenotypes with random effect following a multivariate normal distribution
  • simulate phenotypes using real genotype data (given PLINK binary files)
