Usage

write_bed(x,n,p,bed_file)

Arguments

n
integer, number of individuals.
p
integer, number of SNPs.
x
integer vector that contains the genotypic information coded as 0,1,2 and 3 (see details below). The information must be in snp major order. The vector should be of dimension n*p with the snps stacked.
bed_file
output binary file with genotype information.

Details

The vector contains integer codes: ll{ Integer code Genotype 0 00 Homozygote "1"/"1" 1 01 Heterozygote 2 10 Missing genotype 3 11 Homozygote "2"/"2" }
