InbreedingFromHindHe: Estimate Inbreeding from Hind/He for a Given Ploidy
Description
After running HindHe and examining the distribution of values
across taxa and loci, InbreedingFromHindHe can be used to estimate
the inbreeding statistic \(F\) from the median or mode value of
\(H_{ind}/H_E\). The statistic estimated encompasses inbreeding
from all sources, including population structure, self-fertilization, and
preferential mating among relatives. It is intended to be used as input to
the process_isoloci.py script.
Usage
InbreedingFromHindHe(hindhe, ploidy)
Value
A number indicating the inbreeding statistic \(F\). This is calculated as:
$$1 - hindhe * ploidy / (ploidy - 1)$$
Arguments
hindhe
A value for \(H_{ind}/H_E\). It should generally range from zero to
one.
ploidy
A single integer indicating the ploidy of the population.
