constructPedigree: Pedigree construction

In ribd: Pedigree-based Relatedness Coefficients

Pedigree construction

Description

Construct a pedigree yielding a prescribed set of IBD coefficients.

Usage

constructPedigree(kappa, describe = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

kappa	A probability vector of length 3; (kappa0, kappa1, kappa2).
describe	A logical. If TRUE, a textual description of the resulting relationship is printed.
verbose	A logical. If TRUE, various details about the calculations are printed.

Details

The construction follows the method and formulae given in Vigeland (2020).

Value

A ped object containing a pair of double half cousins with inbred founders. (In corner cases the relationship collapses into siblings.)

Examples

# Full siblings
x = constructPedigree(kappa = c(0.25, 0.5, 0.25))
kappaIBD(x, leaves(x))

# A relationship halfway between parent-child and full sibs
kap = c(1/8, 6/8, 1/8)
showInTriangle(kap, label = " (1/8, 1/8)", pos = 4)

y = constructPedigree(kappa = kap)
plot(y)

stopifnot(all.equal(kappaIBD(y, leaves(y)), kap))

# kappa = (0,1,0) does not give a parent-child relationship,
# but half siblings whose shared parent is completely inbred.
z = constructPedigree(kappa = c(0,1,0))
plot(z)
