R2GUESS

Graphical processing Unit Evolutionary Stochastic Search

Functional Description: R2GUESS package is a wrapper of the GUESS (Graphical processing Unit Evolutionary Stochastic Search ) program. GUESS is a computationally optimised C++ implementation of a fully Bayesian variable selection approach that can analyse, in a genome-wide context, single and multiple responses in an integrated way. The program uses packages from the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) and offers the possibility to re-route computationally intensive linear algebra operations towards the Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) through the use of proprietary CULA-dense library.
