About

Maintained by Pariya BehrouziFirst published 2018-08-022 releasesCRAN page ↗

Implements the pcgen algorithm, which is a modified version of the standard pc-algorithm, with specific conditional independence tests and modified orientation rules. pcgen extends the approach of Valente et al. (2010) doi:10.1534/genetics.109.112979 with reconstruction of direct genetic effects.

grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
