AllelicSeries 1.0.0

• Added ability to run COAST starting from summary statistics:
  • ASBTSS runs the allelic series burden test from summary statistics.
  • ASKATSS runs the allelic series SKAT test from summary statistics.
  • COASTSS runs the omnibus coding-variant allelic series test from summary statistics.
• Added a CalcSumstats function to generate summary statistics from individual-level data.

AllelicSeries 0.6.0

• Replaced the CountAlleles function with a similar (but faster) Counts function that returns counts the total number of alleles, variants, and carriers by variant class.
• Updated the formatting of the results output by the main COAST function.

AllelicSeries 0.5.0

• Added option (min_mac) to filter the variant set to only include those variants having at least a minimum minor allele count (10 is recommended).
• Added a function (CountAlleles) to count the number of alleles of each variant category present in the genotype matrix. Also allows for counting the number of carriers of each type of allele.
• By default, COAST now reports the number of alleles of each variant category that contributed to the test.
