Software for the Analysis of Genetic Architecture SAGA

Description

Provides multimodel parameter estimates of genetic architecture incorporating the impact of environmental and sex effects. Uses weighted least squares to solve all possible models. Chooses the model or models that are most appropriate based on AICc weights and produces model weighted parameter estimates and unconditional standard errors. A function to visualize the distribution of model fits across model space allows users to graphically see how well defined the "true" model is with their dataset.
