# loki(1)

Reversible jump MCMC linkage analysis in general pedigrees

## NAME

loki - Reversible jump MCMC linkage analysis in general pedigrees

## SYNOPSIS

**prep** controlfile\
 **loki** -v\
 **loki** paramfile

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **prep** and **loki** commands. Other post-hoc analysis scripts are available; please see the complete documentation. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in PostScript format; see below.

**loki**, written by Simon C. Heath, implements segregation and linkage  analysis on possibly large and complex pedigrees, by means of a Reversible  Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique. **prep** performs previous data preparation.

## OPTIONS

- **-v**

  Show version of the program.

## SEE ALSO

The programs are documented fully in */usr/share/doc/loki-doc/* if you have installed the loki-doc package.
