dslice: an R package for nonparametric testing of associations with application in QTL and gene set analysis.

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Many statistical problems in bioinformatics and genetics can be formulated as the testing of associations between a categorical variable and a continuous variable. A dynamic slicing method was proposed for non-parametric dependence testing, which has been demonstrated to have higher powers compared with traditional methods such as Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. We introduce an R package dslice to facilitate...
