title: 'bacon: Controlling bias and inflation in association studies using the empirical
  null distribution'
version: 1.40.0

  value: 10.32614/CRAN.package.bacon
abstract: Bacon can be used to remove inflation and bias often observed in epigenome-
  and transcriptome-wide association studies. To this end bacon constructs an empirical
  null distribution using a Gibbs Sampling algorithm by fitting a three-component
  normal mixture on z-scores.
