     'GWAF' package provides functions to fit Linear Mixed Effects
     (LME) model accounting for within pedigree correlation  for
     testing genetic association between genotyped/imputed SNPs and a
     continuous trait and functions to  fit Generalized Estimation
     Equation (GEE) model using each pedigree as a cluster with
     independent working correlation matrix for testing genetic
     association between SNPs and a dichotomous trait. In addition,
     'GWAF' package  also provides functions for making genome-wide
     p-values plot and QQ plot containing genomic control  parameter
     estimate and generating scripts for genome-wide association
     analysis.
