Error for region (...) LinAlgError('SVD did not converge')
2021-07-23
PredictDB Team
𝕆ne step of the summary imputation, the computation of snp covariance matrix inverse, is performed via singular value decomposition (SVD). Numerical solutions to the SVD algorithm are not guaranteed to converge, and fail on some regions. When this happens, unmeasured zscores will not be present in …

Error No intersection between model names in MetaXcan Results and Prediction Models
2021-07-23
Festus
𝕋his error happen when the strings captured from the metaxcan results and models don’t coincide
A good example is when the metaxcan results' captured names looked like Aorta while the models' captured names looked like Artery_Aorta, this will result into this error

Can I predict genes on chromosome X or Y?
2021-07-21
PredictDB Team
ℕot at the moment. Sex chromosome genes need to be handled differently than those on the autosomes, and do not fit into our existing analysis pipeline.

Error low % of SNPs used
2021-07-21
Festus
𝕋here are different reasons where you could get a low % of SNPs in the model used with your individual level data or summary stats file. Some of the issues include;
[…] Little overlap between the model SNPs and genotype/summary stats SNPs
[…] Incomplete/malformed models .db file …

GTEx v8 models on eQTL and sQTL
2021-07-21
PredictDB Team
𝕎e have produced different families of prediction models for sQTL and eQTL, using several prediction strategies, on GTEx v8 release data.
We recommend MASHR-based models below. Elastic Net-based are a safe, robust alternative with decreased power.
[…] Expression and splicing prediction models …
