SyMod: Open-Source Software for Symbolic Modeling

We are in the process of testing our new SyMod software package. We plan to release a first beta version on Sourceforge.net for public testing within the next 2-4 weeks. Check back here for updates. A short description of SyMod can be found at http://www.epistasis.org/software.html.

A new paper describing a 5-step process for implementing the symbolic discriminant analysis (SDA) component of SyMod for epistasis modeling will appear in Human Heredity in early 2007. Email me if you want to see a preprint.

Development and distribution of SyMod is supported primarily by NIH R01 AI59694.
