# Haplotype Analysis for discrete TTP

Cycle-specific logistic regression of haplo-type effects with known haplo-type probabilities. Given observed genotype G and unobserved haplotypes H we here mix out over the possible haplotypes using that \(P(H|G)\) is given as input.

\[\begin{align*} S(t|x,G) & = E( S(t|x,H) | G) = \sum_{h \in G} P(h|G) S(t|z,h) \end{align*}\] so survival can be computed by mixing out over possible h given g.

Survival is based on logistic regression for the discrete hazard function of the form \[\begin{align*} \mbox{logit}(P(T=t| T >= t, x,h)) & = \alpha_t + x(h) beta \end{align*}\] where x(h) is a regression design of x and haplotypes \(h=(h_1,h_2)\).

Simple binomial data can be fitted using this function.

For standard errors we assume that haplotype probabilities are known.

We are particularly interested in the types haplotypes:

    types <- c("DCGCGCTCACG","DTCCGCTGACG","ITCAGTTGACG","ITCCGCTGAGG")

    ## some haplotypes frequencies for simulations
    data(haplo)
    hapfreqs <- haplo$hapfreqs

Among the types of interest we look up the frequencies and choose a baseline

    www <-which(hapfreqs$haplotype %in% types)
    hapfreqs$freq[www]
    #> [1] 0.138387 0.103394 0.048124 0.291273

    baseline=hapfreqs$haplotype[9]
    baseline
    #> [1] "DTGCGCTCGCG"

We have cycle specific data with \(id\) and outcome \(y\)

    haploX  <- haplo$haploX
    dlist(haploX,.~id|id %in% c(1,4,7))
    #> id: 1
    #>   y X1 X2 X3 X4 times lbnr__id Count1
    #> 1 0 0  0  0  0  1     1        0
    #> 2 0 0  0  0  0  2     2        0

    #> 39 1 1  0  0  0  3     3        0

and a list of possible haplo-types for each id and how likely they are \(p\) (the sum of within each id is 1):

    ghaplos <- haplo$ghaplos
    head(ghaplos)
    #>    id      haplo1      haplo2          p
    #> 1   1 DTGCGCTCGCG DTGAGCTCGCG 1.00000000
    #> 19  2 ITCCGTTGACG DTGAGCTCGCG 0.06867716
    #> 21  2 ITCAGTTGACG DTGCGCTCGCG 0.93132284
    #> 51  3 ITCCGTTGACG DTGAGCTCGCG 0.06867716
    #> 53  3 ITCAGTTGACG DTGCGCTCGCG 0.93132284
    #> 66  4 DTGCGCTCGCG DTGCGCTCGCG 1.00000000

The first id=1 has the haplotype fully observed, but id=2 has two possible haplotypes consistent with the observed genotype for this id, the probabiblities are 7% and 93%, respectively.

With the baseline given above we can specify a regression design that gives an effect if a “type” is present (sm=0), or an additive effect of haplotypes (sm=1):

    designftypes <- function(x,sm=0) {
    hap1=x[1]
    hap2=x[2]
    if (sm==0) y <- 1*( (hap1==types) | (hap2==types))
    if (sm==1) y <- 1*(hap1==types) + 1*(hap2==types)
    return(y)
    }

To fit the model we start by constructing a time-design (named X) and takes the haplotype distributions for each id

    haploX$time <- haploX$times
    Xdes <- model.matrix(~factor(time),haploX)
    colnames(Xdes) <- paste("X",1:ncol(Xdes),sep="")
    X <- dkeep(haploX,~id+y+time)
    X <- cbind(X,Xdes)
    Haplos <- dkeep(ghaplos,~id+"haplo*"+p)
    desnames=paste("X",1:6,sep="")   # six X's related to 6 cycles
    head(X)
    #>   id y time X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6
    #> 1  1 0    1  1  0  0  0  0  0
    #> 2  1 0    2  1  1  0  0  0  0
    #> 3  1 0    3  1  0  1  0  0  0
    #> 4  1 0    4  1  0  0  1  0  0
    #> 5  1 0    5  1  0  0  0  1  0
    #> 6  1 0    6  1  0  0  0  0  1

Now we can fit the model with the design given by the designfunction

    out <- haplo.surv.discrete(X=X,y="y",time.name="time",
          Haplos=Haplos,desnames=desnames,designfunc=designftypes)
    names(out$coef) <- c(desnames,types)
