Third-party modules

gthwe

The Hardy-Weinberg "exact test" implementation is a modified version of Guo & Thompson's 1992 code. Dr. Sun-Wei Guo has kindly allowed us to release the code under the GNU General Public License. Original code available at http://www.stat.washington.edu/thompson/Genepi/Hardy.shtml.

slatkin-exact/monte-carlo.c

Montgomery Slatkin's implementation of a Monte Carlo approximation of the Ewens-Watterson exact test of neutrality (Slatkin 1994, Slatkin 1996). Original code can be found at: http://ib.berkeley.edu/labs/slatkin/monty/Ewens_exact.program.

pval

The code in the 'pval' directory (with the exception of 'pval.c' the SWIG wrapper, 'pval_wrap.i' and the Makefile) is part of the R project's 'nmath' numerical library http://www.r-project.org/ and is also licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Minor modifications have been made to allow the module to build correctly.
