  1. Viewdist (http://genepi.qimr.edu.au/viewapps/) Plotting Program for quick visualisation of distributions Harry Beeby & Sarah Medland Queensland Institute of Medical Research

  2. Designed for use with the Mx %p function • Reads in %p or data files • Produces QQ plots or distribution against itself • Aim to help identify outliers • Can read in %p files for two models and plot the difference between the two files • Useful for identifying per family contribution to a LOD score at a specific loci

  3. Outlier detection • QQ plots observed scores against the expected distribution (normal or chi-square) • The case identifier is shown as you pass the mouse over the data point

  4. Can select multiple data points • Output a text file containing Mx commands to exclude the selected cases select if fam ^= 1234 ; select if fam ^= 5678 ; select if fam ^= 9876 ;

  5. Working from a %p file • Can graph Z score or Mahalanobis distance • Can display the results for multiple models (max 6) if using the NModel option • Suits mixture distribution linkage approach • Can graph raw data from a dat file • Requires user to specify the columns to be plotted • Can customise the plot and change the expected distribution • Results can be printed or saved as jpg

  6. per case change in model fit • If two %p files are read in using ‘open difference files’ the difference in -2LL can be calculated and plotted to determine which cases are contributing the most to change in chi-square • Selecting these families and excluding them from the analysis can provide information regarding the robustness of the linkage finding

  7. Input format • Tab or Space delimited • Required columns • Identifiers • Data • Optional Columns • Model (specify -1 if not included in data file)
