GWAS羣體分層校訂,該選用多少個PCA

前言

關於選用多少個PCA作羣體分層校訂,各大期刊並無一個統一的說法。 故作了以下綜述。ide

1 爲所欲爲型,想選多少就選多少

PCA想選多少就選多少,這個真的不是開玩笑。有文獻出處有真相!ui

好比下面文獻直接選用10個PCA校訂羣體分層。blog

好比選用前5個主成分校訂羣體分層。it

好比選用前3個主成分校訂羣體分層。變量

GWAS identifies novel SLE susceptibility genes and explains the association of the HLA region軟件

好比選用前2個主成分校訂羣體分層。sso

2 經過EIGENSTRAT軟件肯定顯著的主成分

經過EIGENSTRAT軟件計算主成分

計算各個主成分是否有顯著的統計學意義

將P值小於0.05的主成分歸入羣體分層校訂中。

以下圖所示,主成分1和2是顯著影響羣體結構的(P<0.05),作關聯分析時須要歸入協變量中
