NCASE and NCONTROL are not available in the summary statistics of a case-control study #18

Description

@HaniceSun

Hi,

I would like to use this awesome package, however, I just realized NCASE and NCONTROL values were not included in the summary statistics of the case-control study. Could you please advise me on how to proceed?

Is there a way to infer these two values from other values? In the source code, it seems these two values are used to approximate V using approx_v_cc function, while there is also a commented line, V = SE * SE.
Are these two values not necessary if SE is known?
Or is it okay just pretend the case-control study is a quantitative one? Thanks a lot.
