Usage
dbCompare(x, profiles=NULL, hit=7, trace=TRUE, vector=FALSE,
collapse=FALSE, wildcard=FALSE, wildcard.effect=FALSE,
wildcard.impose=FALSE,threads=2)Arguments
x
Database with DNA profiles. The database format is expected
to be a data frame with each column containing an allelic number
such that for each DNA marker there are two columns in the data
frame. See data(dbExample) for an example
profiles
One or more profiles to be compared with all profiles in
the database. Input is a vector, matrix or data frame of same
length/width as a row in the database x.
If profiles is non-null only one CPU will be used. In case threads>1
hit
The number of matching loci for further investigation
trace
Shows a progress bar
vector
Logical. Whether the result should be returned as vector
or a matrix. Note if 'collapse' is TRUE vector is ignored.
collapse
Logical (default FALSE). If TRUE the
(m,p)-matrix will be collapased into a (2*m+p)-vector containing the
total number of matching alleles.
threads
The number of threads to use for performing comparisons
in parallel for increased computation time. Use 0 for using the
same number as the computer has CPU cores. NOTE: Only available on
Linux and MacOS operating systems.
wildcard
Use the wildcard comparing.
wildcard.effect
Compare result of wildcard and no wildcard.
wildcard.impose
Force homozygouse profiles (aa) to have wildcard (aF).
