tagSNP: tagSNP

Description

Grouping of markers depending on correlation structure

Usage

tagSNP(mat, threshold = 0.8)

Arguments

mat

(p x p) correlation matrix

threshold

lower value of correlation considered for grouping

Value

list (LEN number of groups) of lists (LEN 2); marker names correspond to column names of mat

snps

vector of marker IDs in group

tagsnp

representative marker suggested for this group

Details

Grouping of markers is based on the correlation matrix. Apart from this, the strategy for grouping is similar to Carlson et al. (2004). A representative marker is suggested for each group.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
  ### 1: INPUT DATA
  data(testdata)
  ### 2: COVARIANCE/CORRELATION MATRIX
  corrmat <- CovMat(matLD, H.sire, 100, pos.chr, corr = TRUE)
  ### 3: TAGSNPS FROM CORRELATION MATRIX
  bin <- tagSNP(corrmat$R)
  bin <- tagSNP(corrmat$R, 0.5)
  as.numeric(unlist(rlist::list.select(bin, tagsnp)))
