Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

An R function to generate an AD model simulated data set with given parameters and data structure.

1	ad.simudata(Y, Ped, v, b, SimuNum = NULL)

`Y`	A matrix of trait with one or more than one trait.
`Ped`	A pedigree matrix including Environment, Female, Male, Generation, with or without block is required. So the matrix should include either 4 columns or 5 columns.
`v`	A vector of preset variance components.
`b`	A vector of present fixed effects.
`SimuNum`

The number of simulations. The default number is 200.

Return a simulated data set which is a matrix.
