gl.gene.freq: Calculate a statistic for each locus by group
An internal function essentially to convey readability to rather contorted R code.
It takes as input a genlight {adegenet} object with an index variable (say, population)
and calculates the selected statistic for each locus, broken down by the groups defined
by the index variable.
Description
Calculate a statistic for each locus by group
An internal function essentially to convey readability to rather contorted R code.
It takes as input a genlight {adegenet} object with an index variable (say, population)
and calculates the selected statistic for each locus, broken down by the groups defined
by the index variable.
Usage
gl.gene.freq(gl, method = pop(gl), stat = "mean")
Arguments
gl
-- name of the genlight object containing the SNP data [required]
method
-- breakdown variable [default pop(x)]
stat
-- statistic to calculate: mean [only mean(x)/2 currently implemented]
Value
A matrix, populations (rows) by loci (columns), showing the statistic [mean/2]
