MultiPheno
MultiPheno is software that implements a novel method for simultaneous association of a genetic variant that has both the case/control status and the clinical covariate. Our method combines the liability threshold framework with multivariate methods. Specifically, our method explicitly handles the issue of ascertainment/selection bias by developing an expectation-maximization algorithm for estimating the model parameters, which reweighs the individuals to correct for the ascertainment bias.
MultiPheno was created by Fernando Crespo.
