create_cross_design: Simulate the creation of a cross design object

In arfesta/SimBreeder: Forward population breeding simulator

Description

This function creates the cross design object which can be generated from parents or the previous generation selections

Usage

create_cross_design(parent.info, prog.percross, generation,
  mating.design = "AssortiveMating", coancest.thresh = T,
  use.par.marker.effects = F, use.op.par.phenos = F, cross.file = NULL,
  save = F, parent.phenos = NULL)

Arguments

parent.info	The parent object from which contains individuals to make crosses from. This should come from either the create_parents() or extract_selections()
prog.percross	Number of progeny that should be made per cross
generation	Number that specifies which generation
mating.design	Specify the type of mating design to be used in making crosses: "AssortiveMating" (Default), "Self", "RandomMating","SP","MP", or "cross.file.input". (See details for description)
coancest.thresh	logical. Should a coancestry threshold be used as to minimize making related crosses?
use.par.marker.effects	logical. Set to TRUE if using the parents marker effects
use.op.par.phenos	logical. Set to TRUE if passing parents created from OP_crossing()
cross.file	User provided cross.file; Should be used if mating.design = "cross.design.input"
save	logical. Saves the output of genetic map (Default: FALSE)
parent.phenos	Object returned from sim_parent_phenos()

Examples

cross.file  <- create_cross_design(mapinfo = the.map,parent.info = op.families,prog.percross = 60,
generation = 1, use.op.par.phenos = T)
