snpgrid: Diffusion kernels on SNP genotypes

In dkDNA: Diffusion Kernels on a Set of Genotypes

Description

This function construct a diffusion kernel on a p-dimensional SNP grid graph, where each genotype takes on three possible configurations, namely 0 ('aa'), 1 ('Aa'), and 2('AA'). This graph is obained by the p-Cartesian graph product of a path graph 0-1-2. It contains 3^p vertices corresponding to sequences of genotypes, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if just one SNP locus differs by 1.

Usage

snpgrid(X, theta)

Arguments

X	A genotype matrix of n individuals with p SNPs (n \times p).
theta	The rate of diffusion.

Value

Diffusion kernel matrix of size n \times n. This can be viewed as a covariance among individuals given the diffusion rate.

Examples

# set a seed
set.seed(4321)

# create a genotype matrix of 5 individuals with 10 SNPs
X <- matrix(sample(c(0,1,2), 50, prob=c(0.35, 0.3, 0.35), replace=TRUE),
ncol=10)

# set the rate of diffusion equal to 1
theta <- 1

# compute a SNP grid kernel 
snpgrid(X, theta)
