Simulating disease status and censored age
------------------------------------------

   ^phenotyp^ hr [^, t^ype^(d^ | ^r) a^lpha^(^#^) l^ambda^(^#^) m^axage^(^#^)^
            ^g^amma^(^#^) s^ex^(b^ | ^f^ | ^m)^]


Description
-----------

^phenotyp^ is a command used to generate the disease status and
censored age of individuals in simulated families on the basis of age,
sex, and genotype that are generated by ^simuped2^ or ^simuped3^
previously (Cui 2000). An censored age is the age at onset of a
disease if a person is affected, or the age of death if a person has
died before developing the disease. Otherwise it is the calendar age
simulated by ^simuped2^ or ^simuped3^.

^phenotyp^ expects the genetic hazard ratio, hr, to be specified as a
non-negative value following this command.


Options
-------

^type(^inheritance^)^ specifies the type of inheritance. ^d^ (the default)
    specifies dominant inheritance, and ^r^ specifies recessive inheritance.

^alpha(^#^)^ specifies the shape parameter of the Weibull
    distribution. The default value is 4.21.

^lambda(^#^)^ specifies the scale parameter of the Weibull
    distribution. The default value is 9.95e-10.

^maxage(^#^)^ specifies the upper bound of age of death. The default
    value is 100.

^gamma(^#^)^ specifies the parameter in the log-power density function
    of death.  The default value is 15.

^sex(^text^)^ specifies the sex affected by a disease. ^b^ (the default)
    specifies that both sexes are affected, ^f^ specifies that female only
    affected, and ^m^ specifies that males are only affected by the disease.

Examples

   . ^use output^

   . ^phenotyp 10, type(d) alpha(4.21) lambda(9.95e-10) maxage(100) gamma(15) s(f)^
