This package implements a family based association test via GEE Kernel Machine (SKAT) score test. It has functions to test an association between SNP/SNV sets and binary/continuous phenotypes.

Q&A: Gskat now have function for testing without any covariates. A new function called gskat_seq_opt2 has just been added for testing without covaraites.
Does gskat provides a function to do null model fitting to speed up the large scale test? We are working on this in the new package.
