When developing new methods it is often easier to start with some simulated data. Here I provide some tools to simulate various phenotypes from imported or artificial genetic data.
Currently the library provides function and classes to:
- simulate categorical and continues phenotypes
- simulate multiple phenotypes with causal, genetic, and environmental inter-relatedness
- provides a connection to plink to perform various tasks (such as GWAS, clumpling, etc.)
- some limited plotting functions
