genecounting: Gene counting for haplotype analysis

Description

Gene counting for haplotype analysis

Usage

genecounting(data, weight = NULL, loci = NULL, control = gc.control())

Value

The returned value is a list containing:

• h haplotype frequency estimates under linkage disequilibrium (LD).

• h0 haplotype frequency estimates under linkage equilibrium (no LD).

• prob genotype probability estimates.

• l0 log-likelihood under linkage equilibrium.

• l1 log-likelihood under linkage disequilibrium.

• hapid unique haplotype identifier (defunct, see gc.em).

• npusr number of parameters according user-given alleles.

• npdat number of parameters according to observed.

• htrtable design matrix for haplotype trend regression (defunct, see gc.em).

• iter number of iterations used in gene counting.

• converge a flag indicating convergence status of gene counting.

• di0 haplotype diversity under no LD, defined as \(1-\sum (h_0^2)\).

• di1 haplotype diversity under LD, defined as \(1-\sum (h^2))\).

• resid residuals in terms of frequency weights = o - e.

Arguments

data

genotype table.

weight

a column of frequency weights.

loci

an array containing number of alleles at each locus.

control

is a function with the following arguments:

• xdata. a flag indicating if the data involves X chromosome, if so, the first column of data indicates sex of each subject: 1=male, 2=female. The marker data are no different from the autosomal version for females, but for males, two copies of the single allele present at a given locus.

• convll. set convergence criteria according to log-likelihood, if its value set to 1

• handle.miss. to handle missing data, if its value set to 1

• eps. the actual convergence criteria, with default value 1e-5

• tol. tolerance for genotype probabilities with default value 1e-8

• maxit. maximum number of iterations, with default value 50

• pl. criteria for trimming haplotypes according to posterior probabilities

• assignment. filename containing haplotype assignment

• verbose. If TRUE, yields print out from the C routine
