new.genpop: genpop constructor

In adegenet: Exploratory Analysis of Genetic and Genomic Data

genpop constructor

Description

The function new has a method for building genpop objects. See the class description of genpop for more information on this data structure. The functions genpop and as.genpop are aliases for new("genpop", ...).

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'genpop'
initialize(
  .Object,
  tab,
  prevcall = NULL,
  ploidy = 2L,
  type = c("codom", "PA"),
  ...
)

genpop(...)

as.genpop(...)

Arguments

.Object	prototyped object (generated automatically when calling 'new')
tab	A matrix of integers corresponding to the @tab slot of a genpop object, with individuals in rows and alleles in columns, and containing either allele counts
prevcall	an optional call to be stored in the object
ploidy	an integer vector indicating the ploidy of the individual; each individual can have a different value; if only one value is provided, it is recycled to generate a vector of the right length.
type	a character string indicating the type of marker: codominant ("codom") or presence/absence ("PA")
...	further arguments passed to other methods (currently not used)

Details

Most users do not need using the constructor, but merely to convert raw allele data using genind2genpop.

Value

a genpop object
