Description: 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.
