PoooL 1.1
:: DESCRIPTION
PoooL is a novel constrained EM algorithm to estimate frequencies of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) haplotypes from DNA pools. A quantity called importance factor is introduced to measure the contribution of a haplotype to the likelihood. Under the assumption of asymptotic normality of the estimated allele frequencies and a system of linear constraints on haplotype frequencies the importance factor remains a constant in the iterative maximization process.
