depart.LDL

results provided by <code>moyenne.pere()</code> function, mean of half-sib family performances.

moyenne.pere

numeric vector of length=number of individuals which contains the performances of individuals.

perf

numeric vector of length=number of individuals which contains the CD of individuals. var(perf$_i$)=s/CD$^2_i$

numeric vector (number of individuals) 
which contains transmission probabilities at a single test position.

results provided by <code>descendant.pere()</code> function, numeric matrix (number of sires x 2)
which gives for each sire, the first and last indexes of its progeny.

desc.pere


The function calculates the starting value of the error variance  and the starting value of the QTL effect for the optimization of HAPimLDL method.
It can be viewed as an internal function. 
The user does not have to call it by himself.


models

The package provides a set of functions whose aim is to
propose 4 methods of QTL detection. HAPimLD is an
interval-mapping method designed for unrelated individuals with
no family information that makes use of linkage disequilibrium.
HAPimLDL is an interval-mapping method for design of half-sib
families. It combines linkage analysis and linkage
disequilibrium. HaploMax is based on an analysis of variance
with a dose haplotype effect. HaploMaxHS is based on an
analysis of variance with a sire effect and a dose haplotype
effect in half-sib family design.  Fundings for the package
development were provided to the LDLmapQTL project by the ANR
GENANIMAL program and APIS-GENE.
