poolfstat (version 2.1.1)

fstats-class: S4 class to represent fstats results obtained with computeFstats.

Description

S4 class to represent fstats results obtained with computeFstats.

Slots

f2.values

A data frame with npop(npop-1)/2 rows and 1 (or 3 if blockjackknife is TRUE) columns containing estimates of the f2-statistics over all the SNPs and if blockjackknife=TRUE, the estimated block-jackknife and standard error (s.e.)

fst.values

A data frame with npop(npop-1)/2 rows and 1 (or 3 if blockjackknife is TRUE) columns containing estimates of the scaled f2.values (same as obtained with compute.pairwiseFST with method="Identity") over all the SNPs and if blockjackknife=TRUE, the estimated block-jackknife and standard error (s.e.). The F2 scaling factor is equal to 1-Q2 (where Q2 is the AIS probability between the two populations)

f3.values

A data frame with npops(npops-1)(npops-2)/2 rows and 1 (or 4 if blockjackknife is TRUE) columns containing estimates of the f3-statistics over all the SNPs and if blockjackknife=TRUE, the estimated block-jackknife and standard error (s.e.) and Z-score measuring the deviation of the f3-statistics from 0 in units of s.e.

f3star.values

A data frame with npops(npops-1)(npops-2)/2 rows and 1 (or 4 if blockjackknife is TRUE) columns containing estimates of the scaled f3-statistics over all the SNPs and if blockjackknife=TRUE, the estimated block-jackknife and standard error (s.e.) and Z-score measuring the deviation of the f3-statistics from 0 in units of s.e. The F3 scaling factor is equal to 1-Q1 (where Q1 is the AIS probability within the target population, i.e., population C for F3(C;A,B))

f4.values

A data frame with npops(npops-1)(npops-2)(npops-3)/8 rows and 1 (or 4 if blockjackknife is TRUE) columns containing estimates of the f4-statistics over all the SNPs and if blockjackknife=TRUE, the estimated block-jackknife and standard error (s.e.) and Z-score measuring the deviation of the f4-statistics from 0 in units of s.e.

Dstat.values

A data frame with npops(npops-1)(npops-2)(npops-3)/8 rows and 1 (or 4 if blockjackknife is TRUE) columns containing estimates of the D-statistics (scaled f4-statistics) over all the SNPs and if blockjackknife=TRUE, the estimated block-jackknife and standard error (s.e.) and Z-score measuring the deviation of the f3-statistics from 0 in units of s.e. For a given quadruplet (A,B;C,D), the parameter D corresponds to F4(A,B;C,D) scaled by (1-Q2(A,B))*(1-Q2(C,D)) where Q2(X,Y) is the is the AIS probability between the X and Y populations.

F4.bjack.samples

If blockjackknife=TRUE and options return.F4.blockjackknife.samples is actived in compute.fstats, a matrix with npops(npops-1)(npops-2)(npops-3)/8 rows and nblock.jackknife samples columns

comparisons

A list containing matrices with population names associated to the different test comparisons (e.g., the "F2" elements of the list is a npop(npop-1)/2 rows x 2 columns with each row containing the name of the two populations compared)

Q.matrix

The estimated error covariance matrix for all the F2 and F3 estimates (required by graph fitting functions to compute graph scores)

heterozygosities

A data frame with npop rows and 1 (or 3 if blockjackknife is TRUE) columns containing estimates of the within population heterozygosities (1-Q1) over all the SNPs and if blockjackknife=TRUE, the estimated block-jackknife and standard error (s.e.)

blockjacknife

A logical indicating whether block-jackknife estimates of standard errors are available (TRUE) or not (FALSE)
