getP: An internal function for getting empirical p values

Description

Simulates p values.

Usage

getP(ndads, mm, vv, tau2, nperms, nsims, nbins)

Value

Returns a vector of simulated p values. The list contains:

Arguments

ndads

a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the number of dads.

mm

a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the mean number of offspring per dad per bin (normal dist). mm must be less than vv.

vv

a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the variance in offspring per dad per bin (normal dist). vv must be greater than mm.

tau2

a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the dad effect (narrow-sense heritability ~ tau2/(tau2+(pi/sqrt(3))^2)).

nperms

a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the number of bootstrap permutations to use for caluclating a p value.

nsims

a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the number of simulations to run per parameter combination.

nbins

a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the number of bins, data are pooled before analysis.

Examples

	ndads <- c(9,18)
	mm <- 4.629634
	vv <- 6.31339
	tau2 <- c(0,0.5)
	nperms <- 2
	nsims <- 2
	nbins <- 3
	getP(ndads, mm, vv, tau2, nperms, nsims, nbins)
