zygdist

Calculates the distribution of an offspring dosages given
parental dosages (<code>G1</code> and <code>G2</code>), the ploidy of the
species (<code>ploidy</code>), and the double reduction parameter
(<code>alpha</code>).

Inference concerning equilibrium and random mating in
autopolyploids. Methods are available to test for equilibrium
and random mating at any even ploidy level (>2) in the presence
of double reduction at biallelic loci. For autopolyploid populations
in equilibrium, methods are available to estimate the degree of
double reduction. We also provide functions to calculate genotype
frequencies at equilibrium, or after one or several rounds of
random mating, given rates of double reduction. The main function is
hwefit(). This material is based upon work supported by the

<dl><dt>alpha</dt>
<dd>A numeric vector containing the double reduction parameter(s).
This should be a
vector of length <code>floor(ploidy/4)</code> where <code>alpha[i]</code>
is the probability of exactly <code>i</code> pairs of IBDR alleles
being in the gamete. Note that <code>sum(alpha)</code> should be less than
1, as <code>1 - sum(alpha)</code> is the probability of no double reduction.</dd>

<dd>The dosage of parent 1. Should be an integer between <code>0</code>
