Usage

mr_egger_regression_bootstrap(b_exp, b_out, se_exp, se_out, parameters)

Arguments

b_exp

Vector of genetic effects on exposure.

b_out

Vector of genetic effects on outcome.

se_exp

Standard errors of genetic effects on exposure.

se_out

Standard errors of genetic effects on outcome.

parameters

List of parameters. Specifically, the nboot parameter can be specified for the number of bootstrap replications. The default is parameters=list(nboot=1000).

Value

pval

p-value of MR estimate

b_i

Estimate of horizontal pleiotropy (intercept)

se_i

Standard error of intercept

pval_i

p-value of intercept

mod

Summary of regression

dat
