This Julia package provides computational routines for fitting and testing variance component models. It is one component of the umbrella OpenMendel project.
Note: Three OpenMendel packages - SnpArrays, Search, and MendelBase must be installed before any Mendel analysis packages will run.
Within Julia, use the package manager to install VarianceComponentModels:
Pkg.clone("[email protected]:OpenMendel/VarianceComponentModels.jl.git")
This package supports Julia v0.4.
If you use this analysis package in your research, please cite the following reference in the resulting publications:
