Genomic analyses require flexible models that can be adapted to the needs of the user.

Limix is a flexible and efficient linear mixed model library with interfaces to Python. It includes methods for

• Single-variant association and interaction testing
• Variance decompostion analysis with linear mixed models
• Association and interaction set tests
• Different utils for statistical analysis, basic i/o, and plotting.

The documentation can be found at https://limix.readthedocs.io.

Installation is easy and works on macOS, Linux, and Windows:

pip install limix

If you already have Limix but want to upgrade it to the latest version:

pip install limix --upgrade

After installation, you can test it

python -c "import limix; limix.test()"

as long as you have pytest.
