A matrix with nsnps rows and six columns (Chromosome name, position of the SNP, Frequency of the ancestral allele, iHH for the ancestral allele, iHH for the derived allele and iES) obtained after performing a scan on the population of interest.
freqbin
Size of the bin to standardize log(iHH1/iHH2) according to the underlying Derived Allele frequency. Allele frequency bins vary from minmaf to 1-minmaf per step of size freqbin. If freqbin is set to 0 (e.
minmaf
SNPs with a MAF (Minor Allele Frequency) lower than minmaf are discarded from the analysis
Value
The returned value is a list containing two elements
res.ihsmatrix with nsnps rows and four columns (Chromosome name, position of the SNP, Rsb and Pvalue)
summary.classmatrix with nclasses rows and four columns (Class, Number of SNPs belonging to this class,position of the SNP, mean iHH in this class, standard deviation of iHH in this class)
Details
iHS (standardized iHH) are standardized as described in Voight et al. (2006)
