+# Simulation in XMAP paper
+Here, we provide the codes for generating the simulation results in XMAP paper.
+The file names are specified with their functionalities + specific simulation scenario in XMAP paper.
+
+## Simulation scenario
+- Polygenic + causal effects from normal distributions: *_small_chr22.R
+- Polygenic + causal effects from scaled t distributions: *_small_t_chr22.R
+- Causal effects + counfounding (introduced by PC): *_inflated_small.R
+- Causal effects only: *_small_nobg.R
+
+## Codes for generating simulation data
+- Codes for generating effect sizes: Start with 'construct_effect_size'
+- Codes for generating GWAS data: Start with 'construct_gwas'
+
+## Codes for running fine-mapping methods
+- XMAP: Start with "simu_XMAP"
+- SuSiEx: Start with "simu_susie"
+- MsCAVIAR: Start with "simu_mscaviar"
+- PAINTOR: Start with "simu_paintor"
+- SuSiE-inf: Start with "simu_susieinf"
+- SuSiE: Start with "simu_susie"
+- FINEMAP: Start with "simu_fm"
+- DAP-G: Start with "simu_dapg"
