fst.hudson: Calculate the average fixation index (Fst) between two groups of individuals from Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)

Description

Fixation index (Fst) calculation was implemented using Hudson method as in Bhatia (2013) and Hudson (1992).

Usage

fst.hudson(X, idx.p1, idx.p2)

Arguments

X

A matrix contains the number 0, 1, and 2 representing SNP in additive coding. Rows represent individuals and columns represent SNP.

idx.p1

An integer vector contains the row indices of first population in the matrix X.

idx.p2

An integer vector contains the row indices of second population in the matrix X.

Value

The function returns an average Fst value between 2 specified groups.

Examples

# NOT RUN {

#Load simulated dataset
data(example_SNP)

idx1 <- which(sample_labels == 'pop1')
idx2 <- which(sample_labels == 'pop2')
fst <- fst.hudson(simsnp$snp, idx1, idx2)

#Print out the Fst value between 'pop1' and 'pop2'
print(fst)

# }
