MRLasso class
An object containing the estimates produced using the MR-Lasso method as well as various statistics. class
Exposure
: The names of the exposure variables.Outcome
: The name of the outcome variable.Estimate
: The causal estimate from the MR-Lasso method.StdError
: The standard error associated with Estimate
.CILower
: The lower bounds of the confidence intervals for Estimate
based on StdError
.CIUpper
: The upper bounds of the confidence intervals for Estimate
based on StdError
.Alpha
: The significance level used in constructing the confidence interval (default is 0.05).Pvalue
: P-value associated with the causal estimate from the MR-Lasso method.SNPs
: The number of SNPs used in the calculation.RegEstimate
: The estimate from the regularized regression model used in the MR-Lasso method.RegIntercept
: The intercept estimates from the regularized regression model used in the MR-Lasso method. An intercept estimate of zero identifies the corresponding genetic variant as a valid instrument. Genetic variants with non-zero intercept estimates will be excluded from the post-lasso estimator.Valid
: The number of genetic variants that have been identified as valid instruments.ValidSNPs
: The names of genetic variants that have been identified as valid instruments.Lambda
: The value of the tuning parameter used to compute RegEstimate
(default is to calulate Lambda
using the heterogeneity stopping rule).Useful links
