R packages Maintained by Jing Hua Zhao

The R commands for installation (e.g., CGR and R/gap) are as follows,

> install.packages("CGR",contriburl="http://www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/~jinghua.zhao/software") # MRC site
> install.packages("CGR","R",contriburl="http://www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/~jinghua.zhao/software") # under Unix/Linux, where "R" is a user directory
> install.packages("gap", repos="http://cran.r-project.org") # repos is an option specifying CRAN or one of the mirror sites

Here are some frequently-asked questions (FAQs) and pedigree diagrams by pedtodot in R/gap as viewed by dotty and neato of graphviz for the GAW14 data. There is also a pedigree (pre, dotpdf) created for the data provided by Richard Mott as prompted by a pedigree (pre, dot, pdf) from Jinliang Wang.

Name:

R/gap (Windows version)

Version:

1.0-17

Date:

2009-1-2

Author:

Jing hua Zhao in collaboration with other colleagues, and with help from Kurt Hornik and Brian Ripley of the R core development team

Maintainer:

Jing hua Zhao <jinghua.zhao@mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk>

Description:

It is designed as 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 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.
