Please check column names are accurate and provide a dictionary for the column names in the main documentation.
E.g.,
mt_site methylation loci name
gt_site gene name
mt_est methylation coefficient
...
The mt_
prefix was chosen in accordance to comments such as https://github.com/kordk/torch-ecpg/issues/16#issue-1472034565 and https://github.com/kordk/torch-ecpg/issues/7#issuecomment-1309311476. It represents methylation and in the context of the MLR output, it indicates that those regression results correspond to methylation as opposed to the intercept/constant or covariates.
Would mt_id and gt_id be preferred instead of mt_site and gt_site, or do you have something else in mind?
First two columns are misnamed - first column is the gene probe ID, second is the methylation CpG ID Why are the rest of the columns prefixed "mt_"?
