Re: st: Ologit storing p-values up to 10 decimal places

If you are doing a genome-wide association scan using 500 SNOPs (or
more), then this DEFINITELY looks like a -parmest- job, because you will
want to process a large number of multiple P-values in a mechanized
fashion. You could use the -pformat- option, but that will only give you
a long list of formatted P-values for you to process manually, which I
would definitely not like to do.
And, if you want to calculate frequentist Q-values corresponding to the
P-values, then you can use the -qqvalue- package, downloadable from SSC,
which does in Stata essentially what the -p.adjust- package does in R.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes

Thanks Nick. I was just trying to do a Genome Wide Association test with a trial sample of 500 SNPs. In a normal dataset, we have around 500,000 SNPs and the p-values are very small (the last one I ran in PLINK had the top hit at 5e-17). I would eventually want to modify the code so that it runs fo 500K SNPs. The reason for trying to run the GWAS in Stata and not PLINK is that PLINK doesn't have the capability of doingan ordinal logistic regression.
I got confused with the code. Sorry for that. If I wanted to print out the sorted p-values would adding an extra line (sort e(p)) do it?
Also, I just noticed that Stata 11 has a --pformat-- option. I was wondering if that can be used before the loop to specify that I want p-values upto certain decimal pplaces.
Thanks,
Debs

Your code is very confused, mixing up macros and variables and
assuming that values exist which you never assigned. However, with the
big caveat that no P-value can be trusted out to the tenth decimal
place, the technique in this may be a start at what you seek.

foreach var of var length-gratio {
capture ologit rep78 `var'
di "`var' {col 20}" %12.10f e(p)
}
For more manipulation, look at -postfile-.
If you are inspecting that many P-values, also consider building in a
penalty for chance hits.

I am trying to write a code which will go through around 500 ordinal logistic regressions and the output is the id for each of the rs # and the corresponding p-values, where the p-values are sorted in ascending order. i want the p-values reported up to 10 decimal places. This is my code so far. I may be wrong here. How do I make Stata report p-values up to 10 decimal places? Do I need to specify e(b) under display if I want the beta coefficients printed out for each rs #?
~~~~~~~~
local list "age sex c1 c2 c3"
local pvalue = e(p)
foreach `x’ of varlist rs1-rs500 {
quietly ologit outcome `x' `list'
sort pvalue
display `x' pvalue
}

I am using Stata 11.1.
I want the output to show the following:
~~~~
rs5 5e-7
rs493 4e-6

rs257 0.33
