Provides and manipulates labels of genetic effects.
effectsNamesGeneral(nloc = 2, max.level=NULL, max.dom=NULL)
effectsNamesMultilinear(nloc=2, max.level=2, max.dom=2)
Number of loci.
Maximum order of interactions.
Maximum order for dominance.
The codes for genetic effects are stored into a vector of length 4,
effectsNames. The first element of the vector is the code for
the absence of effect (default: "."). The three other elements are
respectively additive effects (default: "a") dominance effects
(default: "d"), and multilinear epistatic effects (default:
"e").
The names of genetic effects contains as many characters as the number of
loci in the system. The additive effect of the first locus in a 3-locus
system will be "a..", and the "Dominance by Dominance" between loci 2
and 4 in a 5-locus system will be ".d.d.". Directionality of epistasis
between two (or more) loci is indicated by as many "e" as necessary
(e.g. ".ee." for the interaction between loci 2 and 3 in a 4-locus
case).
effectsNamesGeneral and effectsNamesMultilinear provide
a list of the names of the genetic effects, in the correct order to be
processed in the NOIA framework (Alvarez-Castro and Carlborg 2007).
