Multitrait GWAS (-lmm) has NaN values for Se(Ve) #45

Hello,

I have attempted multitrait GWAS with two traits and a kinship matrix (no other covariates) and I think something must be wrong with my input data. Here's the command line output:

lindroth@lindroth-5810:/usr/share/gemma_program$ ./gemma -bfile WisAsp_BCFfiltered_VCFfiltered_vcf-merge_VCFfiltered-take2_maf05_plink_LinkImpute_LDprune -k output/kinship.cXX.txt -lmm 4 -n 13 15  -o wisasp_multitrait

The se(Ve) has NaNs and the "Reading SNPs" does not advance from 0.00%. The command does not execute fully. Do you have any suggestions for what could be wrong with the input data? I can attach the data as a zip if needed.

Thank you very much!
Hilary
