solar

A vector of characters, that contains the commands to be passed to SOLAR.

A character, path to the directory, where SOLAR-related files (phenotypes, pedigree, markers)
were previously created.

A logical, <code>intern</code> argument to be passed to <code>system</code> function.
The default value is TRUE.

result

A logical, <code>ignore.stdout</code> argument to be passed to <code>system</code> function.
The default value is FALSE.

ignore.stdout

A logical, <code>ignore.stderr</code> argument to be passed to <code>system</code> function.
The default value is TRUE.

ignore.stderr

additional arguments (which are not used).


The function calls SOLAR via <code>system</code> function,
that invokes the OS command (which is <code>solar</code>) specified by the command argument.
SOLAR is required to be installed in the OS.


SOLAR is the standard software program to perform linkage and
association mappings of the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in pedigrees of
arbitrary size and complexity. This package allows the user to exploit the
variance component methods implemented in SOLAR. It automates such routine
operations as formatting pedigree and phenotype data. It also parses the model
output and contains summary and plotting functions for exploration of the
results. In addition, solarius enables parallel computing of the linkage and
association analyses, that makes the calculation of genome-wide scans more
efficient. See <http://solar.txbiomedgenetics.org/> for more information about
SOLAR.
