SimParam_addTraitAD: Add additive and dominance traits

Description

Randomly assigns eligble QTLs for one or more traits with dominance. If simulating more than one trait, all traits will be pleiotrophic with correlated effects.

Arguments

nQtlPerChr

number of QTLs per chromosome. Can be a single value or nChr values.

mean

a vector of desired mean genetic values for one or more traits

var

a vector of desired genetic variances for one or more traits

meanDD

mean dominance degree

varDD

variance of dominance degree

corA

a matrix of correlations between additive effects

corDD

a matrix of correlations between dominance degrees

useVarA

tune according to additive genetic variance if true. If FALSE, tuning is performed according to total genetic variance.

gamma

should a gamma distribution be used instead of normal

shape

the shape parameter for the gamma distribution

force

should the check for a running simulation be ignored. Only set to TRUE if you know what you are doing.

Usage

SP$addTraitAD(nQtlPerChr, mean = 0, var = 1, meanDD = 0, varDD = 0, corA = NULL, corDD = NULL, useVarA = TRUE, gamma = FALSE, shape = 1, force = FALSE)

Examples

# NOT RUN {
#Create founder haplotypes
founderPop = quickHaplo(nInd=10, nChr=1, segSites=10)

#Set simulation parameters
SP = SimParam$new(founderPop)
SP$addTraitAD(10, meanDD=0.5)

# }
