hsrecombi (version 1.0.1)

startvalue: Start value for maternal allele and haplotype frequencies

Description

Determine default start values for Expectation Maximisation (EM) algorithm that is used to estimate paternal recombination rate and maternal haplotype frequencies

Usage

startvalue(Fam1, Fam2, Dd = 0, prec = 1e-06)

Value

list (LEN 8)

fAA.start

frequency of maternal haplotype 1-1

fAB.start

frequency of maternal haplotype 1-0

fBA.start

frequency of maternal haplotype 0-1

p1

estimate of maternal allele frequency (allele 1) when sire is heterozygous at SNP1

p2

estimate of maternal allele frequency (allele 1) when sire is heterozygous at SNP2

L1

lower bound of maternal LD

L2

upper bound for maternal LD

critical

0 if parameter estimates are unique; 1 if parameter estimates at both solutions are valid

Arguments

Fam1

matrix (DIM n.progeny x 2) of progeny genotypes (0, 1, 2) of genomic family with coupling phase sires (1) at SNP pair

Fam2

matrix (DIM n.progeny x 2) of progeny genotypes (0, 1, 2) of genomic family with repulsion phase sires (2) at SNP pair

Dd

maternal LD, default 0

prec

minimum accepted start value for fAA, fAB, fBA; default 1e-6

Examples

 n1 <- 100
 n2 <- 20
 G1 <- matrix(ncol = 2, nrow = n1, sample(c(0:2), replace = TRUE,
  size = 2 * n1))
 G2 <- matrix(ncol = 2, nrow = n2, sample(c(0:2), replace = TRUE,
  size = 2 * n2))
 startvalue(G1, G2)
