Simulates a Pedigree given a Log-Linear Model

Description

Given a PdataPed object simulates a pedigree according to the linear model defined by formula and user specified parameter values for the given model.

Usage

simpedigree(PdP, beta=NULL, nUS=NULL)

Arguments

PdP	a PdataPed object
beta	parameter vector for the model defined by the formula argument in PdataPed
nUS	vector for the size of the unsampled population(s) defined in the USdam and USsire arguments passed to PdataPed. Parmeters for the unsampled female population come before the male population.

Value

ped	pedigree in 3 columns: id, dam, sire. Base individuals have NA as parents
USsire.data	binary vector indicating unsampled sire records (1)
USsire.formula	variable of the form expression(varPed(...)) that can be included in the formula argument of PdataPed so that unobserved male records are effectively hidden
USdam.data	binary vector indicating unsampled dam records (1)
USdam.formula	variable of the form expression(varPed(...)) that can be included in the formula argument of PdataPed so that unobserved male records are effectively hidden
