Genomic analyses require flexible models that can be adapted to the needs of the user. LIMIX is smart about how particular models are fit to safe computational cost.

• Recommended is an installation via pypi.

• pip install limix will work on most systems.

• LIMIX is particular easy to install using the anaconda python distribution: https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda.

• If you want to install LIMIX from source you require: Python:

• scons, scipy, numpy, pandas

• Swig:

• swig 2.0 or higher

A good starting point is our package Vignettes. These tutorials can are available in this repository: https://github.com/PMBio/limix-tutorials.

The main package vignette can also be viewed using the ipython notebook viewer: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/pmbio/limix-tutorials/blob/master/index.ipynb. Alternative the sources file is available in the separate LIMIX tutorial repository: https://github.com/PMBio/limix-tutorials
