impute2databel: converts IMPUTE-imputed files to DatABEL (filevector) format
Description
this function converts IMPUTE-imputed files to DatABEL
(filevector) format containing estimated dosages. After
conversion, two files (outfile.fvi and outfile.fvd),
corresponding to a single filevector object, will appear
on the disk; a 'databel-class' object connected to these
files will be returned to R.
Usage
impute2databel(genofile, samplefile, outfile, makeprob = TRUE, old = FALSE, dataOutType = "FLOAT")
Arguments
genofile
IMPUTE genotype file name
samplefile
IMPUTE sample file name
makeprob
whether probability-files are also to be
arranged
old
for developers' use only
dataOutType
the output data type, either "FLOAT"
or "DOUBLE" (or another DatABEL/filevector type)
Value
'databel-class' object
