summary.scantwoperm: LOD thresholds from scantwo permutation results

Description

Print the estimated genome-wide LOD thresholds on the basis of permutation results from scantwo (with n.perm > 0).

Usage

# S3 method for scantwoperm
summary(object, alpha=c(0.05, 0.10), …)

Arguments

object

Output from the function scantwo with n.perm > 0.

alpha

Genome-wide significance levels.

…

Ignored at this point.

Value

An object of class summary.scantwoperm, to be printed by print.summary.scantwoperm.

Details

We take the \(1-\alpha\) quantiles of the individual LOD scores.

In the case of X-chr-specific permutations, we use the combined length of the autosomes, \(L_A\), and the length of the X chromosome, \(L_X\), and calculate the area of the A:A, A:X, and X:X regions as \(L_A^2/2\), \(L_A L_X\), and \(L_X^2/2\), and then use the nominal significance levels of \(1 - (1-\alpha)^p\), where \(p\) is the proportional area for that region.
