genecounting: Gene counting for haplotype analysis

Description

Gene counting for haplotype analysis with missing data

Usage

genecounting(data,weight=NULL,loci=NULL,control=gc.control())

Arguments

data

genotype table

weight

a column of frequency weights

loci

an array containing number of alleles at each locus

control

is a function with the following arguments:

1. xdata. a flag indicating if the data involves X chromosome, if so, the first column of data indicates sex of each subject: 1=male, 2=female. The marker data are no different from the autosomal ve

Value

• The returned value is a list containing:
• h
  haplotype frequency estimates under linkage disequilibrium (LD)
• h0
  haplotype frequency estimates under linkage equilibrium (no LD)
• prob
  genotype probability estimates
• l0
  log-likelihood under linkage equilibrium
• l1
  log-likelihood under linkage disequilibrium
• hapid
  unique haplotype identifier (defunct, see gc.em)
• npusr
  number of parameters according user-given alleles
• npdat
  number of parameters according to observed
• htrtable
  design matrix for haplotype trend regression (defunct, see gc.em)
• iter
  number of iterations used in gene counting
• converge
  a flag indicating convergence status of gene counting
• di0
  haplotype diversity under no LD, defined as $1-\sum (h_0^2)$
• di1
  haplotype diversity under LD, defined as $1-\sum (h^2))$
• resid
  residuals in terms of frequency weights = o - e
