pbatR (version 2.2-13)

obfuscate: Obfuscating Pedigree and Phenotype Files

Description

Randomly permutes the data in a pedigree or phenotype file and changes column headers so as to mangle the data. Used for debugging requests, in the hopes that the mangled data will produce the same bad output, but will not be identifiable.

Usage

obfuscate(obj)

Arguments

obj

object of class `ped' or `phe' to be used (the same object type is returned, only mangled; you must write this out to file).

Examples

if (FALSE) {
ped <- read.ped( "myped" );  ## reads in myped.ped
oped <- obfuscate( "myped" );
write.ped( "obfuscate.ped", ped );

phe <- read.phe( "myphe" );  ## reads in myphe.phe
ophe <- obfuscate( "myphe" );
write.phe( "obfuscate.phe", ped );
}
