OUTLINE

Methgi is a set of subroutines for numerical maximization of multiparametric function. Originally developed for obtaining maximum likelihood and ML parameter estimates of likelihood function as applied in genetic analysis (complex segregation analysis, linkage analysis, etc.) The Methgi uses method of configurations when maximising a function.

Currently, METHGI is available in three forms
 
 

Name and link
 Description
METHGI-F77
 Fortran-77 version of METHGI. This version should be considered as stable one (first versions created at early 1980s, and were modified, corrected and improved for many times)
METHGI-CPP
 C++ version of METHGI. Translated from Fortran-77. This version was not extensively tested and should be considered as beta.
METHGI-F90
 Fortran-90 version of METHGI. Translated from Fortran-77. This version was not extensively tested and should be considered as beta (or even gamma).

Each package contains documentation. These documents are different (in contents and quality as well).

We strongly suggest using th Fortran-77 version, well-known for its reliability. Though other versions were translated from the Fortran-77 with slight modifications, these versions were not tested for years (as it was for Fortran-77 version).
