Simulated data of SNPs

Description

simSNP is a data.frame containing a bivariate outcome as in a case-control study, a continous covariate and 10 simulated SNPs. SNPs 1 and 2 have an interaction effect on the outcome. Penetrances are specified as in model 1 of Ritchie et al.(2003)

simSNPcont is a data.frame containing a continuous normally distributed outcome and 10 simulated SNPs, where SNPs 1 and 2 have an interaction effect on the outcome.

Usage

	data(simSNP)
	data(simSNPcont)
	

Format

simSNP is a data frame with 400 observations on the following 12 variables.

SNP values are coded as: 0=common homozygous, 1=heterozygous, 2=variant homozygous.

simSNPcont has a continous outcome and the same SNPs.
