Description

This function computes the PIC (Botstein et al. 1980) of each locus.

Usage

1
PICalc(datafile, ndigit = 3)

Arguments

datafile

Name of the input file, with the extension (e.g. 'glyptemys3.arp')

ndigit

Number of digit per allele in the input file. Default is 3.

Details

Some .arp files might not be imported correctly depending on which software was used to generate them. If this is the case, start from the Genepop file and convert it first with convert.

Value

Returns a table of PIC values to the R console.
