How to perform imputation analysis between masked SNPs and ground truth

Hi all,

I have a vcf file that I am aiming to impute using IMPUTE2. I will mask some selected SNPs. My question is since I have the ground truth and the imputed result, how do I evaluate the quality of the imputation?

gwas snps impute2

read the impute2 manuscript, or other articles on masked results. the impute2 algorithm will generate these for you on a by chromosome or by block or by input file basis (cant remember which)

yeah no problem. that is how the quality metrics are being calculated - they take a snp that they actually have genotyped, and impute it.

then, they check to see how accurate they were. this serves as a useful estimate for nearby variants nearby that have the same characteristics (that actually are only imputed).
