Usage
export.merlin(data, pedfile = "merlin.ped", datafile = "merlin.dat",
mapfile = "merlin.map", format = "merlin", fixstrand = "no",
extendedmap = TRUE, traits = 1, order = TRUE, stepids = 100,
dpieceFun = "new")
Arguments
pedfile
Output pedigree data file name
datafile
Output data (information) file name; no output if NULL
mapfile
Output map file name
format
Output format, either "merlin" or "plink"
