title: 'PONG2: KIR Genotype Imputation and Model Training from SNP Array Data'
version: 1.0.1
abstract: A scalable and accurate tool for Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor
  (KIR) genotype imputation directly from SNP array data using supervised machine
  learning models trained across five continental ancestry groups. Uses attribute
  bagging and an ensemble classifier method with haplotype inference for SNPs and
  KIR types. Models are built from global populations in the 1000 Genomes Project
  and validated across diverse biobank cohorts. Methods are based on Zheng et al.
