bind.loci: Bind Loci Objects

In pegas: Population and Evolutionary Genetics Analysis System

Bind Loci Objects

Description

These functions combine objects of class "loci" by binding their rows or their columns.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'loci'
rbind(...)
## S3 method for class 'loci'
cbind(...)

Arguments

...	some object(s) of class "loci", separated with commas.

Details

These two methods call [rc]bind.data.frame and take care to respect the attribute “locicol” of the returned object.

You can pass a data frame in the ..., but then you should bypass the generic by calling cbind.loci directly. Do not try to pass a vector: this will mess the “locicol” attribute. Instead, make a data frame with this vector (see examples).

Value

An object of class "loci".

Examples

a <- as.loci(data.frame(x = "A/a", y = 1), col.loci = 1)
b <- as.loci(data.frame(y = 2, x = "A/A"), col.loci = 2)
## rbind.loci reorders the columns if necessary:
str(rbind(a, b))
## cbind sets "locicol" correctly:
str(cbind(a, b))
str(cbind(b, a))
## Unexpected result...
str(cbind(a, data.frame(z = 10)))
## ... bypass the generic:
str(pegas:::cbind.loci(a, data.frame(z = 10)))
## ... or much better: a$z <- 10
## Here "locicol" is not correct...
str(pegas:::cbind.loci(z = 10, a))
## ... instead
str(pegas:::cbind.loci(data.frame(z = 10), a))
