Package: EMMREML Type: Package Version: 5.2 Date: 2026-09-29 Title: Fitting Mixed Models with Known Covariance Structures and GWAS Author: Deniz Akdemir, Okeke Uche Godfrey Maintainer: Deniz Akdemir Description: An improved mixed model solver that handles a variety of covariance structures. The main functions are 'emmreml', 'emmremlMultiKernel', and 'emmremlMultivariate'. The 'emmreml' function solves mixed models with known covariance structure using the 'EMMA' algorithm. 'emmremlMultiKernel' allows for fitting models with multiple random components with known covariance structures. The 'emmremlMultivariate' function solves multivariate Gaussian mixed models with known covariance structures using the 'ECM' algorithm. The package now offers both the original matrix interface (fully backward compatible with v3.1) and a modern formula interface. The 'emmremlMultivariate' function restores 'Gpred' and all test outputs from v3.1 while fixing ECM convergence. The new 'gwas' function provides genome-wide association studies with mixed models, including an accelerated algorithm and visualization options.
