Description

see write.simple for general information

Usage

write.mach(X, a1, a2, pedfile, mfile, pedigree = rownames(X), member = rep(1, nrow(X)), father = rep(0, nrow(X)), mother = rep(0, nrow(X)), sex = rep("M", nrow(X)), snp.names = colnames(X))

Arguments

pedfile

Output pedigree file name.

mfile

Output marker file name.

pedigree

Optional pedigree/member/father/mother/sex indentifier vectors, same order as rows in snpStats object. If missing, pedigree is set to rownames(X) and the others default to unrelated males

a2

Examples

data(testdata,package="snpStats")
A.small <- Autosomes[1:6,1:10]
pf <- tempfile()
mf <- tempfile()

## write in suitable format for MACH
nsnps <- ncol(A.small)
write.mach(A.small, a1=rep("1",nsnps), a2=rep("2",nsnps), pedfile=pf, mfile=mf)
unlink(pf)
unlink(mf)
