Description: This package implements a broad class of Family Based
        Association Tests for genetids data, with adjustments for
        population admixture using the code from the 'FBAT' software
        program (see http://www.biostat.harvard.edu/~fbat/fbat.htm).
        Features include: - Uses data from nuclear families, sibships,
        pedigrees, or any combination; provides unbiased tests with or
        without founder genotypes. - Analyzes dichotomous, measured, or
        time-to-onset traits and multiple traits; trait definition can
        be optimized. - Offers bi-allelic and multi-allelic tests of
        association using standard genetic models (additive, dominant,
        recessive or genotype). - Offers large sample and Monte-Carlo
        exact tests of the null hypothesis: no linkage and no
        association; offers large sample test of H0: no association. -
        Estimates allele frequencies; checks Mendelian consistency. -
        Tests multiple markers using haplotypes; estimates haplotype
        frequencies and linkage disequilibrium between pairs of
        markers. - Offers two multi-marker tests for testing multiple
        markers simultaneously, without resolving phase or assuming no
        recombination. - Uses standard pedigree data files; phenotype
        file is optional. - Offers the Sibs Disequilibrium Test.
