Family-Based Association Test Toolkit

Both FBAT and PBAT provide software for implementing family-based association tests. PBAT also provides power calculations, general data analysis functions for quantitative traits, and screening procedures for multiple traits, markers, and/or models. See the FBAT User's Manual for more details.

The FBAT-Toolkit was developed in the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
