R2.test: Ramos-Onsins-Rozas Test of Neutrality

In pegas: Population and Evolutionary Genetics Analysis System

Ramos-Onsins–Rozas Test of Neutrality

Description

This function computes Ramos-Onsins and Rozas's test of neutrality for a set of DNA sequences.

Usage

R2.test(x, B = 1000, theta = 1, plot = TRUE, quiet = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	a DNA matrix (object of class "DNAbin").
B	the number of replicates used for the simulation procedure.
theta	the value of the theta population parameter used in the simulation.
plot	a logical value specifying whether to plot the results (TRUE by default).
quiet	a logical value specifying whether to not display the progress of the simulations. The default is FALSE meaning that a progress bar is displayed by default.
...	further arguments passed to hist.

Value

a list with two elements: R2 the value of the test statistic R_2, and P.val the associated P-value. If B = 0 a single value, the test statistic, is returned

Note

The simulation procedure probably needs to be tested and improved. However the results make sense so far.
