PhoneHome : --noPhoneHome, --phoneHomeThinning [100]
Kinship Options
--kinGeno: kinship matrix is estimated from genotype
--kinPedigree: kinship matrix is estimated from pedigree structure
--kinFile: kinship matrix is read from a file
--kinMaf: the maf cutoff for markers used to estimate kinship
--kinMiss: the genotype call rate cutoff for markers included to estimate kinship
Input/Output Options
--ped: merlin format ped file.
--dat: merlin format dat file.
--vcf: vcf file
--groupFile: gene group file for gene level tests
--longOutput: [ON/OFF] turning this option on will include single variants results in gene-level results report also.
--prefix: output file prefix
VC options
--inverseNormal: trait will be inverse normalized before analysis
--useCovariates: covariates saved in ped file will be adjusted
--traitName: a specified trait that needs to be analyzed. If not specified, then all traits will be analyzed.
Single Variant Tests
--SingleVarScore: the score test
Burden Tests
--burden: the unweighted burden test
--MB: the Madsen-Browning weighted burden test
--VT: the variable threshold test
--SKAT_BETA: the beta density weighted SKAT test (the original test)
--SKAT_UW: the unweighted SKAT test
--SKAT_MB: the Madsen-Browning weighted SKAT test
Other Options
--freqFile []: allow users to enter frequency of markers from a file
--annotation: allow users to group variants based on annotation
--maf: maf cutoff for markers to be grouped for gene-level tests
--miss: the genotype calling missing rate filter before grouping variants for gene-level tests
--simulate: allows an integer for number of permutations requested in single variant score test
--dosage: the flag to tell use dosage saved in VCF file, instead of genotype
--founderFreq: use founder frequencies for grouping and weighting
