Estimates matching between pairs of individuals (for each locus, gives 1 if the two individuals are homozygous for the same allele, 0 if they are homozygous for a different allele, and 1/2 if at least one individual is heterozygous. Matching is the average of these 0, 1/2 and 1s)
matching(dos)A matrix of 0, 1 and 2s with loci (SNPs) in columns and individuals in rows. missing values are allowed
a matrix of pairwise matching
This function is written for dosage data, i.e., how many doses of an allele (0, 1 or 2) an individual carries.
It should be use for bi-allelic markers only (e.g. SNPs), although you might "force" a k multiallelic locus to k
biallelic loci (see fstat2dos).
