The mglm4twin
package fits multivariate generalized linear models
for twin and family data. (Bonat and Hjelmborg, 2018).
mglm4twin
fits multivariate generalized linear models for twin and
family data. It allows use a different linear predictor for each
response variable of a multivariate response.
The response variable can be continous or dicrete, like counts and
binomial and also limited continuos or discrete/continuous inflated
responses. The most important and relevant feature is that many covariance structures can be used to model the relations among different traits.
Use the devtools
package (available from
CRAN) to
install automatically from this GitHub repository:
library(devtools)
install_github("wbonat/mglm4twin")
Alternatively, download the package tarball: mglm4twin_0.3.0.tar.gz and run from a UNIX terminal (make sure you are on the container file directory):
R CMD INSTALL -l /path/to/your/R/library mglm4twin_0.3.0.tar.gz
Or, inside an R
session:
install.packages("mglm4twin_0.3.0.tar.gz", repos = NULL,
lib.loc = "/path/to/your/R/library",
dependencies = TRUE)
Note that -l /path/to/your/R/library
in the former and lib.loc = "/path/to/your/R/library"
in the latter are optional. Only use it if
you want to install in a personal library, other than the standard R
library.
Download Windows binary version: mglm4twin_0.3.0.zip (do not unzip
it under Windows), put the file in your working directory, and from
inside R
:
install.packages("mglm4twin_0.3.0.zip", repos = NULL,
dependencies = TRUE)
By default, if you use devtools::install_github()
, or download any of the
package tarball or Windows binary version, it will install the stable
version of the package (from the master
branch of this repository).
If you want to install the development version, you can use
library(devtools)
install_github("wbonat/mglm4twin", ref = "devel")
Note that the development version can contain bugs and other unknown features, so use it at your own risk!
