markerSearchPower: Power calculation for marker detection strategies in Genome-wide Association Studies

This package calcuates statistical power of detecting associated markers based on one of the model selection strategies: marginal selection, exhaustive search, or forward selection. With assumed genetic effects (including interaction effect), allele frequencies, noise level, sample size, number of genotyped markers, and control level (i.e. number of markers/models intended to select), this package provides fast and accurate consultation on power of different model selection strategies. It helps researchers to decide a more efficient way for marker detection in genome-wide association studies.
