ProbABEL is a package for genome-wide association analysis of imputed data developed by Yurii Aulchenko etc. Currently, ProbABEL implements linear, logistic regression, and Cox proportional hazards models. The corresponding analysis programs are called palinear, palogist, and pacoxph.

The environment variable(s) need to be set properly first. The easiest way to do this is by using the modules commands as in the example below.

$ module avail probabel
-------------------- /usr/local/Modules/3.2.9/modulefiles ----------------------
probabel/0.2.0

$ module load probabel

$ module list
Currently Loaded Modulefiles:
  1) probabel/0.2.0

$ module unload probabel

$ module load probabel/0.2.0

$ module show probabel
-------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/local/Modules/3.2.9/modulefiles/probabel/0.2.0:

module-whatis    Sets up probabel 0.2.0 
prepend-path     PATH /usr/local/apps/probabel/0.2.0/bin

There are several scripts containing commands (files ending in .sh) under this directory. User can modify and run accordingly. The main script is called example_all.sh which in turn calls other script files.
