Data on effect of calcium on fasting glucose (correlated variants)
Two sets of example data are included in the package: one illustrating uncorrelated variants, and the other correlated variants. These are the data on correlated variants. data

calcium calciumse fastgluc fastglucse calc.rho
The variables calcium, and fastgluc are the genetic associations with calcium and fasting glucose for 6 genetic variants reported by Burgess et al (2015). The respective standard errors of the associations are given as calciumse and fastglucse. The matrix of correlations between the genetic variants is given as calc.rho.
These data can be used to test out the various functions in the package.
