I am trying to understand the method lassosum proposed by Mak et al. (2017). For what I understand, the method is created to build Polygenic Scores based on GWAS summary statistics. However, I thought that the outcome could be of different types: 0/1, survival data, etc. Nevertheless, the method is based on a linear regression, so is the method created for only creating scores for continuous traits? enter image description here If not, could anyone help me understand it? Thanks!
I understand how to calculate the score once the weights per SNPs are returned, but I am not sure if the outcome has to be exclusively continuous or not.
