In PSIMEX: SIMEX Algorithm on Pedigree Structures

Description

This function calculates the starting point for the P-SIMEX on inbreeding depression with the initial error in the pedigree.

Usage

initial(model, data, pedigree)

Arguments

model	An object specifying the model to calculate inbreeding depression. It can be a lm or glm.
data	A dataset containing the phenotypic measurements on the population and the covariates which are included in the model.
pedigree	A dataset containing the initial pedigree structure. It must have three columns: id, parent1, parent2.

Value

A list:

model	The correct expression of the model to calculate inbreeding depression
inb0	The starting value of inbreeding depression
se0	The starting standard error of inbreeding depression
pval0	The starting p-value of inbreeding depression
mean_inb0	The starting mean value of inbreeding coefficient
median_inb0	The starting median value of inbreeding coefficient
var_inb0	The starting variance of inbreeding coefficient
