Description: # Epigenetic Pacemaker
        ## A fast conditional expectation maximization algorithm for modeling epigenetic state
        
        DNA methylation is widely used to model physiological phenotypes, such as 
        aging[1](https://doi.org/10.1186/gb-2013-14-10-r115) and type II diabetes[2](https://doi.org/10.1093/hmg/ddy093). 
        The epigenetic pacemaker, **EPM**, is an implementation of a fast conditional expectation maximization algorithm used to 
        model epigenetic states associated with a phenotype of interest [3](https://doi.org/10.2217/epi-2017-0130) The EPM was first introduced by Snir et al. 
        [4](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005183) as an extension of the Universal Pacemaker (UPM). The EPM can model non-linear 
        epigenetic trait associations directly without transformation of the phenotype of interest[5](https://doi.org/10.1080/15592294.2019.1623634).
