 +===== Population Attributable Risk Model =====
 +Under this model, case control status are simulated based on difference in population attributable risk between case control groups. Power and sample size calculations can be performed using a number of theoretical and empirical methods.

 +    --alpha ALPHA         ​significance level at which power will be evaluated
 +                          (default set to 0.05)
 +  ​
 +  input/​output specifications:​
 +    -l N, --limit N       if specified, will limit calculations to the first N
 +                          groups in data (default set to None)
 +    -o file, --output file
 +                          output filename
 +  ​
 +  runtime options:
 +    -t NAME, --title NAME
 +                          unique identifier of a single command run (default to
 +                          output filename prefix)
 +    -v {0,1,2,3}, --verbosity {0,1,2,3}
 +                          verbosity level: 0 for absolutely quiet, 1 for less
 +                          verbose, 2 for verbose, 3 for more debug information
 +                          (default set to 2)
 +    -s N, --seed N        seed for random number generator, 0 for random seed
 +                          (default set to 0)
 +    -j N, --jobs N        number of CPUs to use when multiple replicates are
 +                          required via "​-r"​ option (default set to 2)
 +  ​
 +  association tests:
 +    -m METHODS [METHODS ...], --methods METHODS [METHODS ...]
 +                          Method of one or more association tests. Parameters
 +                          for each method should be specified together as a
 +                          quoted long argument (e.g. --methods "m --alternative
 +                          2" "m1 --permute 1000"​),​ although the common method
 +                          parameters can be specified separately, as long as
 +                          they do not conflict with command arguments. (e.g.
 +                          --methods m1 m2 -p 1000 is equivalent to --methods "m1
 +                          -p 1000" "m2 -p 1000"​.). You can use command '​spower
 +                          show tests' for a list of association tests, and
 +                          '​spower show test TST' for details about a test.
 +  ​
 +  samples and genotypes filtering:
 +    --discard_samples [EXPR [EXPR ...]]
 +                          Discard samples that match specified conditions within
 +                          each test group. Currently only expressions in the
 +                          form of "​%(NA)>​p"​ is provided to remove samples that
 +                          have more 100*p percent of missing values.
 +    --discard_variants [EXPR [EXPR ...]]
 +                          Discard variant sites based on specified conditions
 +                          within each test group. Currently only expressions in
 +                          the form of '​%(NA)>​p'​ is provided to remove variant
 +                          sites that have more than 100*p percent of missing
 +                          genotypes. Note that this filter will be applied after
 +                          "​--discard_samples"​ is applied, if the latter also is
 +                          specified.

 +==== Details ====
 +Model specific options are documented in details below. You should find the rest of the options [[http://​bioinformatics.org/​spower/​options|otherwise documented]].
 +
 +=== -a/b/c/d ===
 +These options specify the **total PAR** for variants in the region of interest. ''​-a''​ is PAR for detrimental rare variants. When used without ''​%%--%%PAR_variable''​ option (see below) all detrimental rare variants will be assigned a fixed PAR equals \(\frac{\gamma}{M}\) where \(\gamma\) is the specified total PAR and \(M\) is total number of detrimental rare variants. Similarly ''​-b''​ specifies PAR for protective variants. Unlike for detrimental variant, protective variants will decrease PAR for samples having a mutation. ''​-c''​ and ''​-d''​ specifies PAR for common variants.
 +
 +<box 80% round blue|**__Note__**>​
 + ​Reasonable assumption of PAR for rare variants associated with complex diseases is 0.5% to 5%.
 +</​box>​
 +=== --PAR_variable ===
 +With this switch on, the total PAR will be distributed to each variant based on the inverse of their MAF, i.e., the rarer the variant the higher the PAR value.
 +
 +=== --moi ===
 +Mode of inheritance. Most aggregated analysis method implicitly assumes an "​additive"​ effect of rare variants, thus simulating and analyzing data under additive model represents a best case scenario for many methods, which is also the default value for both the simulation and the analysis. This option only controls on how the data is simulated. In some ''​%%--%%method''​ option there are sub-options to specify the mode of inheritance under which the data will be analyzed.
 +
 +==== Simulation via Repeated Sampling ====
 +Motivation of the ''​%%--%%resampling''​ option was previously discussed for the [[http://​bioinformatics.org/​spower/​mlogit|LOGIT model]]. In PAR model it is implemented as follows:
 +
 + *  A sample genotype be generated either from the population MAF or drawn directly from given haplotype pools
 + *  A penetrance value \(f\) for the genotype be calculated from input parameters
 + *  PAR -> Odds ratio -> penetrance
 + *  Sample be labeled as a //case// with probability \(f\); control otherwise
