qtl (version 1.39-5)

summary.scanPhyloQTL: Summarize the results a genome scan to map a QTL to a phylogenetic tree

Description

Print the maximum LOD scores for each partition on each chromosome, from the results of scanPhyloQTL.

Usage

"summary"(object, format=c("postprob", "lod"),  threshold, ...)

Arguments

object

An object output by the function scanPhyloQTL.

format

Indicates whether to provide LOD scores or approximate posterior probabilities; see Details below.

threshold

A threshold determining which chromosomes should be output; see Details below.

...

Ignored at this point.

Value

An object of class summary.scanPhyloQTL, to be printed by print.summary.scanPhyloQTL.

Details

This function is used to report chromosomes deemed interesting from a one-QTL genome scan to map QTL to a phylogenetic tree (by scanPhyloQTL).

For format="lod", the output contains the maximum LOD score for each partition on each chromosome (which do not necessarily occur at the same position). The position corresponds to the peak location for the partition with the largest LOD score on that chromosome. The last column is the overall maximum LOD (across partitions) on that chromosome. The second-to-last column is the inferred partition (i.e., that with the largest LOD score. The third-to-last column is the difference between the LOD score for the best partition and that for the second-best.

For format="postprob", the final column contains the maximum LOD score across partitions. But instead of providing the LOD scores for each partition, these are converted to approximate posterior probabilities under the assumption of a single diallelic QTL on that chromosome: on each chromosome, we take $10^LOD$ for the partitions and rescale them to sum to 1.

The threshold argument is applied to the last column (the maximum LOD score across partitions).
