piMASS 0.9 – Posterior Inference via Model Averaging & Subset Selection

piMASS 0.9

:: DESCRIPTION

piMASS (Posterior inference using Model Averaging and Subset Selection) performs multi-SNP association with disease phenotypes. It can handle all SNPs in the genome simultaneously.piMASS was developed to perform multi-SNP association analysis for large (genome-wide) datasets, although it can also be applied to smaller association analysis data (e.g. candidate genes or regions), and in this case it forms an alternative to the multi-SNP association analysis capabilities of BIMBAM (below). It may also be useful for Bayesian variable selection regression in large-scale problems more generally.
