Purpose

This tool was created to estimate prevalence of haplotypes (linking up to 3 SNPs together) from SNP loci. This tool requires input determined MOI and does 3 loci. Since the creation of this tool other tools have been created that do similar analysis with additional features, for example MultiLociBiallelicModel also estimates prevalence but does not require MOI, can do more loci and estimates the MOI from the input data.
