allelepaircomp: Internal: compares two pairs of alleles

Description

Used for computation of the genetic distances alleledist.

Usage

allelepaircomp(allelepair1,allelepair2,method="sum")

Arguments

allelepair1

vector of two allele codes (usually characters), or NA.

allelepair2

vector of two allele codes (usually characters), or NA.

method

one of "sum" or "geometrical".

Value

• If method=="sum", number of shared alleles (0, 1 or 2), or NA. If method=="geometrical", 0, 0.5, sqrt(0.5) (in case that one of the allelepairs is double such as in c("A","B"),c("A","A")) or 1, or NA.
