eXtensible Forward Time SIMulator for complex phenogenetic architectures

eXtensible Forward Time SIMulator

xftsim simulates complex phenotype/genotype data with an emphasis on short timescale phenomena. xftsim is designed with two primary goals:

• make it easy for statistical geneticists to perform reproducible and systematic sensitivity analyses to better understand limitations and assumptions

• enable evaulation of methods for analyzing complex traits under realistically complex generative models

Installation

xftsim is on PyPI. It can be installed using pip:

pip install xftsim

Alternatively, you can install the latest development version from github:

git clone https://github/rborder/xftsim
cd xftsim
git checkout dev
pip -e . install

To enable full functionality (i.e., automatic generation of causal diagrams), you must install pygraphviz.

Getting started

Notice

xftsim is under active development. Please let us know if there are features missing or bugs!

xftsim's Issues

Rows and columns of the result table are misaligned in the terminal

The tables from test_sim.results are a little hard to check because some of the column names are mismatched with the correspondent columns.

Thanks!
