Name: globalGSA

Authors: Natalia Vilor, M.Luz Calle

Description: R Package that implements three different Gene set analysis (GSA) algorithms for combining the individual pvalues of a set of genetic variats (SNPs) in a gene level pvalue. The implementation includes the selection of the best inheritance model for each SNP.
