simmrd: An open-source tool to perform simulations in Mendelian randomization.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Mar 2024

Lorincz-Comi Noah, Yang Yihe, Zhu Xiaofeng

Abstract excerpt

Mendelian randomization (MR) has become a popular tool for inferring causality of risk factors on disease. There are currently over 45 different methods available to perform MR, reflecting this extremely active research area. It would be desirable to have a standard simulation environment to objectively evaluate the existing and future methods. We present simmrd, an open-source software for performing simulations...
