     Functions to fit Linear Mixed Effects (LME) model accounting for
     within pedigree correlation  for testing genetic association
     between genotyped/imputed SNPs and a continuous trait and
     functions to  fit Generalized Estimation Equation (GEE) model
     using each pedigree as a cluster for  testing genetic association
     between SNPs and a dichotomous trait. In addition, GWAF package 
     also provides functions for making genome-wide p-values plot and
     QQ plot containing genomic control  parameter estimate.
