Fstat: Computes F statistics on a population genetics dataset given as R object

Description

Computes F statistics according to Weir and Cockerham's estimators. Missing values are allowed and accounting for in the computation of Fst. The presence of missing values involves a downward bias in the computation of Fis. This function should not be used on haploid data.

Usage

Fstat(genotypes,npop,pop.mbrship,ploidy)

Arguments

genotypes
Diploid codominant genotype data. A matrix with one line per individual and 2 columns per locus
npop
total number of popluation present in the dataset
pop.mbrship
Vector of integers giving the population membership for each individual
ploidy
Integer: 1 or 2 (default is 2) under development. Do not use for haploid data.
