Description

Calculate the total genetic variance

Usage

1
calc.gene.var(gene.coef, freq, Dskim = 0, ...)

Arguments

gene.coef

a list with the coefficients of genetic effects. Each element includes 8 genetic parameters (regression coefficient) β_Gwt, t in (1, 2, ..., 8)

freq

a dataframe with the allele frequencies.

Dskim

the coefficient of linkage disequilibrium. Default is 0 (no LD).

...

not used.

Details

The genetic variance is calculated based on the genetic parameters β_Gwt, t in (1, 2, ..., 8).
