Description: Fits penalized linear mixed models that correct for
unobserved confounding factors. 'plmmr' infers and corrects for
the presence of unobserved confounding effects such as
population stratification and environmental heterogeneity. It
then fits a linear model via penalized maximum likelihood.
Originally designed for the multivariate analysis of single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) measured in a genome-wide
association study (GWAS), 'plmmr' eliminates the need for
subpopulation-specific analyses and post-analysis p-value
adjustments. Functions for the appropriate processing of
'PLINK' files are also supplied. For examples, see the package
homepage .
