[GenABEL-dev] Introducing Xia Shen

[L.C. Karssen]

Dear list,

With this e-mail I'd like to introduce Xia Shen as a "new" member of our
community. Some of you may know Xia from his contributions to the devel
list or his work on GenABEL's polygenic_hglm.

In the past, both Yurii and I have worked with Xia in the past and now
Xia has asked whether he could join the GenABEL project as well. Xia has
a background in statistical genetics and has already worked on several R
packages, notably bigRR [1] and hglm [2], which are both in the Suggests
list of the GenABEL package.

Xia has been working on a new package he'd like to include in the
GenABEL suite. I'm sure you will here more on that in the near future.
In order to set up the package Xia has been given commit access to the
SVN repo.

Xia, I wish you a warm welcome and look forward to your contributions.

Best,

Lennart.
