LIMIX is a flexible and efficient linear mixed model library with interfaces to Python. Limix is currently mainly developed by
Franceso Paolo Casale (casale@ebi.ac.uk) Danilo Horta (horta@ebi.ac.uk) Christoph Lippert (christoph.a.lippert@gmail.com) Oliver Stegle (stegle@ebi.ac.uk)
Genomic analyses require flexible models that can be adapted to the needs of the user. LIMIX is smart about how particular models are fitted to save computational cost.
- It is recommended to install LIMIX via pypi.
- pip install limix will work on most systems.
- LIMIX is especially easy to install with the anaconda python distribution: https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda.
Here are the requirementss to want to install LIMIX from source:
-
Python:
- scipy, numpy, pandas, cython
-
Swig:
- swig 2.0 or higher (only required if you need to recompile C++ interfaces)
A good starting point is our package Vignettes. These tutorials are available from this repository: https://github.com/PMBio/limix-tutorials.
The main package vignette can also be viewed using the ipython notebook viewer: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/pmbio/limix-tutorials/blob/master/index.ipynb.
Alternatively, the source file is available in the separate LIMIX tutorial repository: https://github.com/PMBio/limix-tutorials
