package mvtnorm is obsolete
Hello, yes, genetics is still on CRAN but deprecated. Its functionalities are still available. There are quite a few options to do a HWE test: - (genetics): HWE.chisq, HWE.test, HWE.exact - (adegenet, wrapper for genetics): HWE.test.genind - (ape): hw.test ... Judging from the check results for genetics: http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_genetics.html it seems likely that the package will remain on CRAN for a while, unless the maintainers decide otherwise. Cheers Thibaut

Neither have the function genotype() and the corollary function as.genotype(), which are quite useful caculating HWE using other packages -- see hwe.hardy() in package gap. bw F > > Cheers > > Thibaut. > > ________________________________________ > From: r-sig-genetics-bounces at r-project.org [r-sig-genetics-bounces at r-project.org] on behalf of Federico Calboli [f.calboli at imperial.ac.uk] > Sent: 18 November 2011 11:43 > To: r-sig-genetics at r-project.org > Subject: [R-sig-genetics] package mvtnorm is obsolete > >> library(genetics) > Loading required package: combinat > > Attaching package: ?combinat? > > The following object(s) are masked from ?package:utils?: > > combn > > Loading required package: gdata > gdata: read.xls support for 'XLS' (Excel 97-2004) files ENABLED. > > gdata: read.xls support for 'XLSX' (Excel 2007+) files ENABLED. > > Attaching package: ?gdata? > > The following object(s) are masked from ?package:Hmisc?: > > combine > > The following object(s) are masked from ?package:stats?: > > nobs > > The following object(s) are masked from ?package:utils?: > > object.size > > Loading required package: gtools > Loading required package: mvtnorm > > NOTE: THIS PACKAGE IS NOW OBSOLETE. > > The R-Genetics project has developed an set of enhanced genetics > packages to replace 'genetics'.
