This page contains basic R and Microsoft Excel functions to perform the
methods described in Ghosh, Zou and Wright "Estimating odds ratios in genome
scans: and approximate likelihood approach."  We are creating a user-friendly
web-based servlet to perform this approach, but meanwhile either the R or
Excel versions can be used.

R users can run examplescript.R, which reads the source code from functions.R
and then reproduces the results from the top line of Table 1 in the manuscript.

The Microsoft Excel spreadsheet should be self-explanatory, if you know that
betahat is the log odds ratio estimate, z is the z-statistic, and c is the
threshold z-value used in the study.
