Inbreeding estimation | R Documentation |
The function inbreeding
estimates the inbreeding coefficient
of an individuals (F) by computing its likelihood function. It can
return either the density of probability of F, or a sample of F values
from this distribution. This operation is performed for all the
individuals of a genind object. Any ploidy greater than
1 is acceptable.
inbreeding(x, pop = NULL, truenames = TRUE,
res.type = c("sample", "function", "estimate"), N = 200, M = N * 10)
x |
an object of class genind. |
pop |
a factor giving the 'population' of each individual. If NULL,
pop is seeked from |
truenames |
a logical indicating whether true names should be used (TRUE, default) instead of generic labels (FALSE); used if res.type is "matrix". |
res.type |
a character string matching "sample", "function", or "estimate" specifying whether the output should be a function giving the density of probability of F values ("function"), the maximum likelihood estimate of F from this distribution ("estimate"), or a sample of F values taken from this distribution ("sample", default). |
N |
an integer indicating the size of the sample to be taken from the distribution of F values. |
M |
an integer indicating the number of different F values to be used to generate the sample. Values larger than N are recommended to avoid poor sampling of the distribution. |
Let F
denote the inbreeding coefficient, defined as the
probability for an individual to inherit two identical alleles from a
single ancestor.
Let p_i
refer to the frequency of allele i
in the
population. Let h
be an variable which equates 1 if the
individual is homozygote, and 0 otherwise. For one locus, the
probability of being homozygote is computed as:
F + (1-F) \sum_i p_i^2
The probability of being heterozygote is:
1 - (F + (1-F) \sum_i p_i^2)
The likelihood of a genotype is defined as the probability of being the observed state (homozygote or heterozygote). In the case of multilocus genotypes, log-likelihood are summed over the loci.
A named list with one component for each individual, each of which is
a function or a vector of sampled F values (see res.type
argument).
