allelicOR: Calculate an odds ratio from a 2x3 contigency table of genotype X phenotype

Description

Find the odds ratio, per allele, in biallelic marker in a diploid individual. The locus must be under Hardy-Weinburg at the margin, ie, alleles are independent, for this calculation to hold.

Usage

allelicOR(xtable)

Arguments

xtable

A 2x3 contingency table of frequencies or counts of individuals.

Value

The odds ratio, floating point.
