the outcomes are categorical, the liability scale heritabilities and genetic covariances from multivariable LDSC (and not what are referred to as the “observed scale” heritabilities and genetic covariances) should be used to populate the S matrix. This has the desirable property of both modeling the continuous scale of risk in the population and providing estimates that are independent of the observed prevalence of the categorical outcomes.
