cross	An object of class cross. See read.cross for details.
pheno.col	A vector of numeric indices or character strings (indicating phenotypes by name) of phenotypes to be transformed.

Examples

data(multitrait)

# Log transformation of all phenotypes
multitrait.log <- transformPheno(multitrait, pheno.col=1:nphe(multitrait))

# Square-root transformation of all phenotypes
multitrait.sqrt <- transformPheno(multitrait, pheno.col=1:nphe(multitrait),
                                  transf=sqrt)
