Scout: Software for association analysis of triads and unrelated subjects
Summary
- Development Status: beta-0.9.6
- Environment: Win32 (MS Windows 2000/XP)
- Intended Audience: Epidemiologists, geneticists
- Operating System: MS Windows 2000 & XP
- Programming Language: Fortran 90
- Topic: Statistical genetics
Description of project:
Scout is a software program for conducting combined association
analysis of triads and unrelated subjects. The software utilizes
statistical methodology developed in Epstein et al. (2005).
The downloaded file will contain both a command line version and a GUI
version. Both versions use the SCOUT.dll file included in the distribution.
Also, the current documentation was written for the command line
version only; however, an update including the GUI version
documentation is forthcoming.
