This is the last post about the course. As places are limited, please register as soon as possible!
Course description
This course is designed for those already using R and willing to gain a more in depth perspective of R working mechanism along with an overview of several advanced topics ranging from "S4 programming frame" to parallel computation.
This article provide a brief background about power and sample size analysis. Then, power and sample size analysis is computed for the Z test.

A very interesting paradigm in data analysis comes from the necessity to model data where it is difficult to think of a single global function to be capable to represent adequately the data.
We could see a spectrum of models going from the global statistical model, with a single function and associated probability distribution, to the decision tree fitting a set of constants at each leaf of the tree.

In the previous post we saw how much convenient could be GenABEL in the management of genotypic/phenotypic data.
We introduced the import of genotypic data from an Illumina format file:
> convert.snp.illumina(inf = "gen.illu", out = "gen.raw", strand = "file")
but what happens if you're analysing your data with PLINK, the open source toolset for GWAS?
