gap (version 1.0-8)

Genetic analysis package

Description

This is an integrated package for genetic data analysis of both population and family data. Currently it contains functions for sample size calculations of both population-based and family-based designs, classic twin ACE/ADE/AE/CE models, probability of familial disease aggregation, kinship calculation, some statistics in linkage analysis, and association analysis involving one or more genetic markers including haplotype analysis with or without environmental covariates.
