Description: The goal of 'snpsettest' is to provide simple tools that
        perform set-based association tests (e.g., gene-based
        association tests) using GWAS (genome-wide association study)
        summary statistics. A set-based association test in this
        package is based on the statistical model described in VEGAS
        (versatile gene-based association study), which combines the
        effects of a set of SNPs accounting for linkage disequilibrium
        between markers. This package uses a different approach from
        the original VEGAS implementation to compute set-level p values
        more efficiently, as described in
        <https://github.com/HimesGroup/snpsettest/wiki/Statistical-test-in-snpsettest>.
