this can be considerably faster than doing

the phenotype names. Finally, one may give a numeric vector of

is missing, the function returns a list with class
"scantwo"
and containing three components. The first component
is a matrix of dimension [tot.pos x tot.pos]; the upper triangle
contains the LOD scores for the additive model, and the lower triangle
contains the LOD scores for the full model. The diagonal contains the
results of scanone
. The second component of the
output is a data.frame indicating the locations at which the two-QTL
LOD scores were calculated. The first column is the chromosome
identifier, the second column is the position in cM, the third column
is a 1/0 indicator for ease in later pulling out only the equally
spaced positions, and the fourth column indicates whether the position
is on the X chromosome or not. The final component is a version of
the results of scanone
including sex and/or cross
direction as additive covariates, which is needed for a proper
calculation of conditional LOD scores.If n.perm
is specified, the function returns a list with six
different LOD scores from each of the permutation replicates.
First, the maximum LOD score for the full model (two QTLs plus an
interaction). Second, for each pair of
chromosomes, we take the difference between the full LOD and the
maximum single-QTL LOD for those two chromosomes, and then maximize
this across chromosome pairs. Third, for each pair of chromosomes we
take the difference between the maximum full LOD and the maximum
additive LOD, and then maximize this across chromosome pairs. Fourth,
the maximum LOD score for the additive QTL model. Fifth, for each
pair of chromosomes, we take the difference between the additive LOD
and the maximum single-QTL LOD for those two chromosomes, and then
maximize this across chromosome pairs. Finally, the maximum
single-QTL LOD score (that is, from a single-QTL scan). The latter is
not used in summary.scantwo
, but does get
calculated at each permutation, so we include it for the sake of
completeness.If n.perm
is specified and perm.Xsp=TRUE
, the result is
a list with the permutation results for the regions A:A, A:X, and X:X,
each of which is a list with the six different LOD scores. Independent
permutations are performed in each region, n.perm
is the number
of permutations for the A:A region; additional permutations are are
used for the A:X and X:X parts, as estimates of quantiles farther out
into the tails are needed.
scanone
, if both males and females are
included, male hemizygotes are allowed to be different from female
homozygotes, and the null hypothesis must be changed in order to ensure
that sex- or pgm-differences in the phenotype do not results in spurious
linkage to the X chromosome. (See the help file for
scanone
.) If n.perm
is specified and perm.Xsp=TRUE
,
X-chromosome-specific permutations are performed, to obtain separate
thresholds for the regions A:A, A:X, and X:X.method="em"
) and Haley-Knott
regression (method="hk"
) require that multipoint genotype probabilities are
first calculated using calc.genoprob
. The
imputation method uses the results of sim.geno
. The method "em"
is standard interval mapping by the EM algorithm
(Dempster et al. 1977; Lander and Botstein 1989). Marker regression
(method="mr"
) is simply linear regression of phenotypes on
marker genotypes (individuals with missing genotypes are
discarded). Haley-Knott regression (method="hk"
) uses the
regression of phenotypes on multipoint genotype probabilities. The
imputation method (method="imp"
) uses the pseudomarker
algorithm described by Sen and Churchill (2001).
Individuals with missing phenotypes are dropped.
In the presence of covariates, the full model is $$y = \mu + \beta_{q_1} + \beta_{q_2} + \beta_{q_1 \times q_2} + A \gamma + Z \delta_{q_1} + Z \delta_{q_2} + Z \delta_{q_1 \times q_2} + \epsilon$$ where $q1$ and $q2$ are the unknown QTL genotypes at two locations, A is a matrix of covariates, and Z is a matrix of covariates that interact with QTL genotypes. The columns of Z are forced to be contained in the matrix A.
The above full model is compared to the additive QTL model, $$y = \mu + \beta_{q_1} + \beta_{q_2} + A \gamma + Z \delta_{q_1} + Z \delta_{q_2} + \epsilon$$ and also to the null model, with no QTL, $$y = \mu + A \gamma + \epsilon$$
In the case that n.perm
is specified, the R function
scantwo
is called repeatedly.
For model="binary"
, a logistic regression model is used.
