firstden: Distance to a crossover

Description

Calculates the density of the distance from an arbitrary point to the next crossover, for the gamma model.

Usage

firstden(nu, L = 103, x = NULL, n = 400, max.conv = 25)

Value

A data frame with two columns: x is the distance (between 0 and L, in cM) at which the density was calculated and f is the density.

Arguments

nu

The interference parameter in the gamma model.

L

Maximal distance (in cM) at which to calculate the density. Ignored if x is specified.

x

If specified, points at which to calculate the density.

n

Number of points at which to calculate the density. The points will be evenly distributed between 0 and L. Ignored if x is specified.

max.conv

Maximum limit for summation in the convolutions to get inter-crossover distance distribution from the inter-chiasma distance distributions. This should be greater than the maximum number of chiasmata on the 4-strand bundle.

Details

Let \(f(x;\nu)\) denote the density of a gamma random variable with parameters shape=\(\nu\) and rate=\(2\nu\), and let \(f_k(x;\nu)\) denote the density of a gamma random variable with parameters shape=\(k \nu\) and rate=\(2\nu\).

The distribution of the distance from one crossover to the next is \(f^*(x;\nu) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} f_k(x;\nu)/2^k\).

The distribution of the distance from an arbitrary point to the first crossover is \(g^*(x;\nu) = 1 - F^*(x;\nu)\) where \(F^*\) is the cdf of \(f^*\).
