haplo.stats, version 1.5.2, is now available on CRAN. Below I provide the description and link to our software page where you can also find the updated user manual. The most notable updates for this version were to make the haplo.glm fitted object work more like the glm object; other changes are listed in the NEWS file entries pasted below. DESCRIPTION: haplo.stats: Statistical Analysis of Haplotypes with Traits and Covariates when Linkage Phase is Ambiguous A suite of R routines for the analysis of indirectly measured haplotypes. The statistical methods assume that all subjects are unrelated and that haplotypes are ambiguous (due to unknown linkage phase of the genetic markers). The main functions are: haplo.em, haplo.glm, haplo.score, haplo.power, and seqhap.
