SAIGE 0.35.8.8-foss-2019a-R-3.6.0

SAIGE is an R package with Scalable and Accurate Implementation of Generalized mixed model (Chen, H. et al. 2016). It accounts for sample relatedness and is feasible for genetic association tests in large cohorts and biobanks (N > 400,000). SAIGE performs single-variant association tests for binary traits and quantitative taits. For binary traits, SAIGE uses the saddlepoint approximation (SPA)(mhof, J. P. , 1961; Kuonen, D. 1999; Dey, R. et.al 2017) to account for case-control imbalance. SAIGE-GENE (implemented in the SAIGE R package) performs gene- or region-based association tests (Burde, SKAT, SKAT-O) for binary traits and quantitative traits. Note: SAIGE-GENE accounts for case-control imbalance in gene-based tests (>= 0.35.8.5)
