impute.snps: Impute snps
In NikNakk/snpStats: SnpMatrix and XSnpMatrix classes and methods

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Given SNPs stored in an object of class "SnpMatrix" or "XSnpMatrix" and a set of imputation rules in an object of class "ImputationRules", this function calculates imputed values.

1	impute.snps(rules, snps, subset = NULL, as.numeric = TRUE)

`rules`	The imputation rules; an object of class `"ImputationRules"`
`snps`	The object of class `"SnpMatrix"` or `"XSnpMatrix"` containing the observed SNPs
`subset`	A vector describing the subset of subjects to be used. If `NULL` (default), then use all subjects
`as.numeric`	If `TRUE`, the output is a numeric matrix containing posterior expectations of the imputed SNPs. Otherwise the output matrix is of the same class as `snps` and contains uncertain genotype calls

A matrix with imputed SNPs as columns. The imputed values are the estimated expected values of each SNP when coded 0, 1 or 2.
