By default (GenBack=1, patmat=FALSE
) the following 7 relationships are
distinguished:
S: Self (not included in Counts
)
MP: Parent
O: Offspring (not included in Counts
)
FS: Full sibling
HS: Half sibling
U: Unrelated, or otherwise related
X: Either or both individuals not occurring in both
pedigrees
In the array and dataframe, 'MP' indicates that the second (column)
individual is the parent of the first (row) individual, and 'O' indicates the
reverse.
When GenBack=1, patmat=TRUE
the categories are (S)-M-P-(O)-FS-MHS-PHS-
U-X.
When GenBack=2, patmat=TRUE
, the following relationships are
distinguished:
S: Self (not included in Counts
)
M: Mother
P: Father
O: Offspring (not included in Counts
)
FS: Full sibling
MHS: Maternal half-sibling
PHS: Paternal half-sibling
MGM: Maternal grandmother
MGF: Maternal grandfather
PGM: Paternal grandmother
PGF: Paternal grandfather
GO: Grand-offspring (not included in Counts
)
FA: Full avuncular; maternal or paternal aunt or uncle
HA: Half avuncular
FN: Full nephew/niece (not included in Counts
)
HN: Half nephew/niece (not included in Counts
)
FC1: Full first cousin
DFC1: Double full first cousin
U: Unrelated, or otherwise related
X: Either or both individuals not occurring in both pedigrees
Note that for avuncular and cousin relationships no distinction is made
between paternal versus maternal, as this may differ between the two
individuals and would generate a large number of sub-classes. When a pair is
related via multiple paths, the first-listed relationship is returned.
When GenBack=2, patmat=FALSE
, MGM, MGF, PGM and PGF are combined
into GP, with the rest of the categories analogous to the above.
