Analyzing Genome-wide Association Study Data with the R Package genMOSS

Abstract

The R package (R Core Team (2016)) genMOSS is specifically designed for the Bayesian analysis of genome-wide association study data. The package implements the mode oriented stochastic search (MOSS) procedure as well as a simple moving window approach to identify combinations of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with a response. The prior used in Bayesian computations is the generalized hyper Dirichlet.
