Estimates pairwise kinships and individual inbreeding coefficients from dosage data

Description

Estimates pairwise kinships (coancestries) and individual inbreeding coefficient using Weir and Goudet (2017) beta estimator.

Usage

beta.dosage(dos,inb=TRUE,Mb=FALSE,MATCHING=FALSE)

Arguments

dos	A matrix of 0, 1 and 2s with loci (SNPs) in columns and individuals in rows. Missing values are allowed
inb	whether individual inbreeding coefficient should be estimated (rather than self-coancestries)
Mb	whether to output the mean matching
MATCHING	if MATCHING=FALSE, dos is a (ni x nl) dosage matrix; if MATCHING=TRUE, dos is a (ni x ni) matrix of matching proportions, as obtained from a call to the matching function

Details

This function is written for dosage data, i.e., how many doses of an allele (0, 1 or 2) an individual carries. It should be use for bi-allelic markers only (e.g. SNPs), although you might "force" a k multiallelic locus to k biallelic loci (see fstat2dos).

Matching proportions can be obtained by the following equation: M=β*(1-Mb)+Mb

By default (inb=TRUE) the inbreeding coefficient is returned on the main diagonal. With inb=FALSE, self coancestries are reported.

Twice the betas with self-coancestries on the diagonal gives the Genomic Relationship Matrix (GRM)

Following a suggestion from Olivier Hardy, missing data are removed from the estimation procedure, rather than imputed (this is taken care off automatically)

Value

if Mb=FALSE, a matrix of pairwise kinships and inbreeding coefficients (if inb=TRUE) or self-coancestries (inb=FALSE); if Mb=TRUE, a list with elements inb (whether inbreeding coefficients rather than kinships should be returned on the main diagonal), MB (the average off-diagonal matching) and betas the kinships or inbreeding coefficients.
