Kullback-Leibler Divergence Calculation for Genetic Markers

Description

This function calculates the Kullback-Leibler divergence for shared genetic markers between two populations, considering allele frequencies. It normalizes data, adjusts zero frequencies, and calculates divergence in both directions.

Usage

bidirectionalKL(data1, data2, minFreq = 1e-10)

Arguments

data1	DataFrame with allele frequencies for the first population.
data2	DataFrame with allele frequencies for the second population.
minFreq	Minimum frequency to be considered for unobserved or poorly observed alleles.

Value

A list containing the Kullback-Leibler divergence from data1 to data2 and vice versa.

Examples

bidirectionalKL(Argentina, BosniaHerz)
