MRLasso-class function

MRLasso class

MRLasso class

An object containing the estimates produced using the MR-Lasso method as well as various statistics. class

Slots

  • 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).
