gen.f: Inbreeding coefficient

Description

Returns the inbreeding coefficients of the specified probands

Usage

gen.f( gen, pro, depthmin= (gen.depth(gen)-1), depthmax= (gen.depth(gen)-1), check = "1")

Arguments

Value

A vector or GLmultiVector object depending on the number of generations treated. GLmultiVector is an array of vectors, one for each depth. Array of size ('depthMax'-'depthMin'), vectors of size 'length(pro)'. A vector of size 'length(pro)' is returned when ('depthMax'-'depthMin') equals 1.
