This is a first version of the EMRF program that incorporates the EM-based Haseman-Elston regression (Kruglyak et al., 1996, Am J of Hum Genet 58:1347-1363) and the random forest by Breiman (2001, Machine Learning, 45, 5-32) and provides various measures of importance on each marker as described in

Lee, S.S.F. Random Forests for Multi-Locus Quantitative Trait Linkage Analysis. PhD Thesis, University of Toronto, 2007.
