A tool for computing genotype-phenotype associations using statistical learning techniques

Bioconductor version: 3.3

Given a set of genetic polymorphisms in the form of single nucleotide poylmorphisms or single amino acid polymorphisms and a corresponding phenotype data, often we are interested to quantify their association such that we can identify the causal polymorphisms. Using statistical learning techniques such as random forests and support vector machines, this tool provides the means to estimate genotype-phenotype associations. It also provides visualization functions which enable the user to visually inspect the results of such genetic association study and conveniently select the genotypes which have the highest strenght ofassociation with the phenotype.
