BALD 0.2.1 – Blockwise Approach using Linkage Disequilibrium

BALD 0.2.1

:: DESCRIPTION

BALD is the R package BALD implements/combines functions for Genome-Wide Association Studies including simulation of SNPs data, constrained hierarchical clustering using Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) measures, the Gap statistic to find the optimal number of clusters, and statistical regression models for SNP selection (Univariate, Lasso, Group Lasso, Elastic-Net).
