Usage

expandAmatrix(newPedigree = NULL, A = NULL, returnAll = TRUE)

Value

Matrix with the Relationship between the individuals.

Examples

data(ped.sol)
ped.initial = ped.sol[1:1120,]
ped.new = ped.sol[-c(1:1120),]
#Computing additive relationship matrix:
A = Amatrix(ped.initial, ploidy=2)
Anew = expandAmatrix(ped.new, A)

#Comparing with one-step building..
Afull = Amatrix(ped.sol, ploidy=2)
test = Anew-Afull
which(test!=0)
