In qiuanzhu/xlink: Genetic Association Models for X-Chromosome SNPS on Continuous, Binary and Survival Outcomes

#' xlink: A package for genetic association models for X-chromosome SNPS on continuous, binary and survival outcomes.
#'
#' The expression of X-chromosome undergoes three possible biological processes: X-chromosome inactivation (XCI),
#' escape of the X-chromosome inactivation (XCI-E),and skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI-S).
#' To analyze the X-linked genetic association for phenotype  such as continuous, binary, and time-to-event outcomes with
#' the actual process unknown, we propose a unified approach of maximizing the likelihood or partial likelihood over
#' all of the potential biological processes.
