R Documentation

Get the maximum age of any animal in the pedigree

Description

Returns the maximum age among all animals in the pedigree that have a non-NA age. Because ages are computed for deceased animals (age at exit) as well, the maximum can reflect a deceased animal.

Usage

getPedMaxAge(ped)

Arguments

ped

The pedigree information in data.frame format

Value

Numeric value representing the maximum age of animals in the pedigree, or NA_real_ if no animal has a non-missing age (no age column or all ages missing).

Examples

library(nprcgenekeepr)
examplePedigree <- nprcgenekeepr::examplePedigree
ped <- qcStudbook(examplePedigree,
  minParentAge = 2,
  reportChanges = FALSE,
  reportErrors = FALSE
)
getPedMaxAge(ped)
