This file contains the code for reproducing the results shown in the related manuscript (numbers, tables, figures). We obtained our results on 2023-09-24 using R version 4.3.0 (2023-04-21) running natively on a MacBook Pro (2020) with an Apple M1 chip, 16 GB memory, and the operating system macOS Ventura (version 13.5.2). The total computation time was around 11 hours.
Choose the directory containing the sub-directories “data”, “results” and “manuscript”.
The directory “data” may be empty for the first external application (script loads data - which are also available here - from the R package GRridge) but must contain the file “pone.0181468.s001.csv” for the second external application (available from Erez et al. 2017 in the supporting file journal.pone.0181468.s001.csv) and the files “vcf_with_pvalue.tab” and “LuxPark_pheno.txt” for the internal application (available upon request to [request.ncer-pd@uni.lu](mailto:request.ncer-pd@uni.lu?cc=armin.rauschenberger@uni.lu,enrico.glaab@uni.lu&subject=data request Rauschenberger et al. (“transreg”))). For the internal application, this directory will also contain the intermediate file “app_int_data.RData”.
The directory “results” will contain the files “sim_int.RData” and “sim_ext.RData” for the external and internal simulation, the file “app_grridge.RData” for the first external application, the file “app_fwelnet.RData” for the second external application, and the file “app_int.RData” for the internal application.
The directory “manuscript” will contain the files “table_int.tex” and “table_ext.tex” for the internal and external simulations, the file “figure_example.pdf” for the methods section, the file “figure_ext.pdf” for the external applications, and the file “figure_int.pdf” for the internal application.
