read_size_regression: Reads a size regression file

Description

Reads a size regression file

Usage

read_size_regression(filename)

Value

A function that takes a locus name and allele as arguments and returns the size.

Arguments

filename

Path to file (character).

Details

Read a regression file from disk and returns a function that provides the fragment length (bp) for a given locus and allele.

DNA profiles consist of the observed peaks (alleles or stutter products) at several loci as well as the peak heights and sizes. The size refers to the fragment length (bp). A linear relationship exists between the size of a peak and the size. When peaks are sampled in the sample_mixture_from_genotypes function, a size is assigned using a size regression. The read_size_regression function reads such a regression from disk.

Examples

filename <- system.file("extdata",
                        "GlobalFiler_SizeRegression.csv",
                        package = "simDNAmixtures")

regression <- read_size_regression(filename)

# obtain size for the 12 allele at the vWA locus
regression("vWA", 12)
