Brief Description:

The ldpairs package computes statistics that measure Linkage
Disequilibrium (LD) between pairs of loci.  Most LD measures are not
robust to data not meeting HWE restrictions, and little is
known about the bias when it occurs.  ldpairs includes a statistic
that computes a composite LD statistic for loci with 2 or more
alleles which is robust to HWE levels in the data.

Installation procedures for ldpairs

Intallation procedures in this file are for setting up a 'local
library' for a user. If a large group of users plan to use the same
library, then install on a system-wide 'library' location designated
by a system administrator.

S-PLUS Installation

The ldpairs Splus functions are written for Splus version 6.1. 

To install the software for local use in Splus, move ldpairs_0.1.0_S.tar.gz 
to your installation directory and follow the series of commands:

1) gunzip ldpairs_0.1.0_S.tar.gz
2) tar -xvf ldpairs_0.1.0_S.tar
3) cd ldpairs
4) cd src
5) Splus CHAPTER -m
6) Splus make -f makefile.ldpairs

NOTE: It is important to use the '-m' option for CHAPTER, to prevent
over-writing the supplied makefile.
