Arguments

z_snp: A data frame with four columns: "id", "A1", "A2", "z". giving the z scores for SNPs. "A1" is effect allele. "A2" is the other allele.
weights: a list of pre-processed prediction weights.
region_info: a data frame of region definitions.
snp_map: a list of data frames with SNP-to-region map for the reference.
z_gene: A data frame with columns: "id", "z", giving the z-scores for genes.
thin: The proportion of SNPs to be used for estimating parameters and screening regions.
niter_prefit: the number of iterations of the E-M algorithm to perform during the initial parameter estimation step.
niter: the number of iterations of the E-M algorithm to perform during the complete parameter estimation step.
init_group_prior: a vector of initial values of prior inclusion probabilities for SNPs and genes.
init_group_prior_var: a vector of initial values of prior variances for SNPs and gene effects.
group_prior_var_structure: a string indicating the structure to put on the prior variance parameters. "shared_type" allows all groups in one molecular QTL type to share the same variance parameter. "shared_context" allows all groups in one context (tissue, cell type, condition) to share the same variance parameter. "shared_nonSNP" allows all non-SNP groups to share the same variance parameter. "shared_all" allows all groups to share the same variance parameter. "independent" allows all groups to have their own separate variance parameters.
maxSNP: Inf or integer. Maximum number of SNPs in a region. Default is Inf, no limit. This can be useful if there are many SNPs in a region and you don't have enough memory to run the program.
min_var: minimum number of variables (SNPs and genes) in a region when estimating paramters and screening regions.
min_gene: minimum number of genes in a region when estimating paramters and screening regions.
min_group_size: Minimum number of genes in a group. Groups with number of genes < min_group_size will be removed for the analysis.
min_nonSNP_PIP: Regions with non-SNP PIP >= min_nonSNP_PIP will be selected to run finemapping using full SNPs.
min_p_single_effect: Regions with probability greater than min_p_single_effect of having 1 or fewer effects will be used for parameter estimation.
use_null_weight: If TRUE, allow for a probability of no effect in susie.
outputdir: The directory to store output. If specified, save outputs to the directory.
outname: The output name.
ncore: The number of cores used to parallelize susie over regions.
seed: seed for random sampling when thinning the SNPs in region data.
logfile: The log filename. If NULL, print log info on screen.
verbose: If TRUE, print detailed messages.
...: Additional arguments of susie_rss.

Value

a list, including z_gene, estimated parameters, region_data, cross-boundary genes, screening region results, and fine-mapping results.
