addEffects: Attach additive effects to population.

Description

Attach additive effects to a Population object.

Usage

addEffects(pop, effects = NULL, distrib = rnorm)

Arguments

pop

an object of class Population.

effects

an optional vector of additive effect coefficients.

distrib

an optional random number generator function for a distribution, defaulting to rnorm.

Value

A copy of the supplied Population object is returned, with additive effects attached.

Details

addEffects() is a function for attaching additive effects to a given population, ensuring that the initial additive variance is as given in the population parameters.

If additive effect coefficients are directly supplied via the effects vector, these may be scaled in order to comply with the initial additive variance.

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
# Create population
pop <- Population(
  popSize = 200, map = map100snp, QTL = 20,
  alleleFrequencies = runif(100),
  broadH2 = 0.9, narrowh2 = 0.6, traitVar = 40
)

# Attach additive effects using a normal distribution
pop <- addEffects(pop)

# Attach additive effects using a uniform distribution
pop2 <- addEffects(pop, distrib = runif)

# Attach additive effects using a vector of coefficients
effects <- c(
  1.2, 1.5, -0.3, -1.4, 0.8,
  2.4, 0.2, -0.8, -0.4, 0.8,
  -0.2, -1.4, 1.4, 0.2, -0.9,
  0.4, -0.8, 0.0, -1.1, -1.3
)
pop3 <- addEffects(pop, effects = effects)

# Print first population
pop

# Print second population
pop2

# Print third population
pop3
# }
