Mx: Statistical Modeling

Mx is a structural equation modeling package, but it is flexible enough to fit a variaty of other mathematical models. At its heart is a matrix algebra processor, which can be used by itself. There are many built-in fit functions to enable structural equation modeling and other experiments in matrix algebra and statisical modeling.

Mx is public domain; it is available from the internet. From the Mx Homepage, you can obtain the program, documentation and examples, send comments, and see the latest version available for your platform. Mx GUI is a graphical interface for structural equation modeling which allows models to be fitted directly from path diagrams, and helps in the editing and running of scripts. It is available for Microsoft Win95 and Win3.x systems. Mx is developed by Michael Neale and Gary Xie at VIPBG.

The Mx manual is available in PDF and HTML formats.

Trimhap

Trimhap is a Fortran software package that implements the linkage disequilibrium mapping techniques discussed in MacLean et al 1999 and Martin et al. 1999. The statistics generated by trimhap require haplotype data from multiplex pedigrees.

Trimhap is also public domain; it can be obtained from the Trimhap Homepage. Instructions are given on how to download and install the software and references are provided.
