EPISPOT – Annotation-driven approach for large-scale joint regression with multiple responses

License: GPL v3

Overview

epispot is an R package for parallel variational expectation-maximisation in sparse regression with hierarchically-related responses and predictor-level information. A notable application is in the context of molecular quantitative trait locus mapping, with several thousand molecular levels (responses), genetic markers (candidate predictors) and epigenetic annotation marks (predictor-level covariates) and individuals (samples).
