detectRUNS implements two statistical approaches to runs' detection:

  • a sequential approach (consecutive runs, as described in Marras et al. 2015, and implemented in the software package Zanardi: https://github.com/bioinformatics-ptp/Zanardi);
  • an approach based on overlapping sliding windows (à la Plink: Purcell et al. 2007)
