Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples

Simulates DNA profiles.

simProfile(
  data = NULL,
  kit = NULL,
  sim = 1,
  name = NULL,
  db = NULL,
  debug = FALSE
)

`data`	data.frame with columns 'Marker' and 'Allele' (creates fixed profiles).
`kit`	character string to specify the typing kit (if kit=NULL all markers in db will be used).
`sim`	integer to specify the number of replicates or random profiles.
`name`	character string giving the sample base name ('Sim' is appended).
`db`	data.frame with the allele frequency database (used if data=NULL to create random profiles).
`debug`	logical TRUE to indicate debug mode.

There are three ways to create DNA profiles: 1) Simulate DNA profiles of the selected kit using allele frequencies from the provided db. 2) Simulate DNA profiles using all available markers and allele frequencies from the provided db. 3) Provide a data.frame with a fixed DNA profile. sim random profiles or sim replicates are created. The resulting data.frame can be used as input to simSample. NB! Homozygous alleles must be specified two times e.g. 16, 16.

data.frame with columns 'Sample.Name', 'Marker', 'Allele', 'Sim'.

simSample

# Create a data frame with a DNA profile.
markers = rep(c("D3S1358","TH01","FGA"), each=2)
alleles = c(15,18,6,10,25,25)
df <- data.frame(Marker=markers, Allele=alleles)

# Simulate sample
res <- simProfile(data=df, sim=10, name="Test")
print(res)
