Fstat: Computes F statistics on a population genetics dataset given...

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References

Description

Computes F statistics according to Weir and Cockerham's estimators. Missing values are allowed and accounting for in the computation of Fst. The presence of missing values involves a downward bias in the computation of Fis. This function should not be used on haploid data.

Usage

1
Fstat(genotypes,npop,pop.mbrship,ploidy)

Arguments

genotypes

Diploid codominant genotype data. A matrix with one line per individual and 2 columns per locus

npop

total number of popluation present in the dataset

pop.mbrship

Vector of integers giving the population membership for each individual

ploidy

Integer: 1 or 2 (default is 2) under development. Do not use for haploid data.

Value

A list with components

Fis

A vector of estimations of within-population Fis

Fst

A matrix of estimations the pairwise population Fst. (Only the upper triangular part is returned).
