Purpose

The purpose of MLMOI is to estimate complexity of infection with various corrections for unobservable states. The program also generates simulated datasets. The approach seems to involve simulating datasets and checking to see if the observed data correlates well with the simulated datasets derived by a given model. We were unable to install the package as it has been removed from the R-CRAN library, and had difficulty following the vignettes in the archived package. More specifically, We had difficulty interpreting unitless numbers associated with a given locus for a given sample, and understanding why some missing samples (no sample name) had filled in values and other named samples had missing values). Manual installation (with no package available) was also difficult to follow.
