F: Inbreeding coefficient
In purgeR: Inbreeding-Purging Estimation in Pedigreed Populations
F R Documentation
Inbreeding coefficient
Description
Computes the standard inbreeding coefficient (F).
This is the probability that two alleles on a locus are identical by descent (Falconer and Mackay 1996, Wright 1922), calculated from the genealogical coancestry matrix (Malécot 1948).
Usage
F(ped, name_to)
Arguments
ped
A dataframe containing the pedigree. Individual (id), maternal (dam), and paternal (sire) identities are mandatory columns.
name_to
A string naming the new output column.
Value
The input dataframe, plus an additional column named "F" with individual inbreeding coefficient values.
