HWPerm.mult: Permutation tests fo variants with multiple alleles

In HardyWeinberg: Statistical Tests and Graphics for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

Permutation tests fo variants with multiple alleles

Description

Function HWPerm.mult implements permutation tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for autosomal and X-chromosomal variants.

Usage

HWPerm.mult(x, y = NULL, nperm = 17000, eps = 1e-10, verbose = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x	vector or triangular matrix with male genotype counts
y	vector or triangular matrix with female genotype counts
nperm	number of permutations (17.000 by default)
eps	a tolerance for the comparison of floating point numbers
verbose	print output or not
...	addtional arguments

Details

This function approximates exact test probabilities for joint tests for HWE and equality of allele frequencies for variants with multiple alleles. For purely bi-allelic variant HWPerm can be used which allows for more statistics than just probabilities.

If argument y is not specified, gender is considered irrelevant, and x contains total genotype counts. If x and y are specified, x should contain male genotype counts and y female genotype counts. x and y can be vectors if the variant is bi-allelic, but are assumed lower triangular if there are more than two alleles. x is still a vector if there are multiple alleles but the variant is X-chromosomal. See the examples given below.

Value

pofthesample	probability of the observed sample
pseudodist	probabilities of simulated samples
pval	p-value
