The simulated environmental file which contains the possible environmental variables. The order of the row in this file must consistent with the second column in FAM file.
The simulated FAM file. The first six columns of FAM file are mandatory: Family ID, Individual ID, Paternal ID, Maternal ID, Sex (1=male; 2=female; other=unknown) and Phenotype.
Empirical/kinship correlation matrix between individuals. This correlation matrix can be calculated based on the familial relationship between individuals or large-scale SNP data by omic data analysis toolkit FQLS. The free software FQLS can be downloaded from http://biostat.cau.ac.kr/fqls/. If correlation matrix is estimated with the large-scale SNP data, the proposed method becomes robust under the presence of population substructure.
