Description Usage Arguments Value References Examples

Function to write a binary GRM format recently introduced by GCTA. It takes a correlation matrix as used by other Kriging functions, and writes three files: binary file for storing the diagonal + lower triangular elements, a text file for sample IDs, and a binary file storing the number of SNPs used in the correlation matrix calculation.

1	write_GRMBin(X, n.snps = 0, prefix, size = 4)

`X`	Correlation matrix with rownames and colnames as sample IDs.
`n.snps`	Number of SNPs used in correlation matrix calculation. Default is 0.0.
`prefix`	Base file path and names for the three output files.
`size`	Number of bytes to write for each value. Default is 4

None. Though side effects are writing three files as described above.

  ## create a random genotype matrix
  nSamples <- 10
  mMarkers <- 100
  X <- matrix(rbinom(n=100, size=2, prob=0.5), nrow=nSamples)
  ## compute the Genetric Relatedness Matrix
  grm <- cor(X)
  ## write a Genetic Relatedness Matrix (GRM)
  ## NOTE: to following is not run here -- not writing any files in examples
  #write_GRMBin(grm, n.snps=mMarkers, prefix="grm.out")
