In dyerlab/gstudio: Tools Related to the Spatial Analysis of Genetic Marker Data

Returns transition probability for offspring given one or more parents.

Description

This is a quick function used in paternity testing that provides the probability of transition for a locus of any ploidy level.

Usage

transition_probability(off, mom, dad, multilocus = TRUE)

Arguments

off	A locus from the offspring
mom	A locus from one parent
dad	A locus from another parent
multilocus	A flag indicating that a single multilocus estimate of the transition probability should be passed (the default action). If FALSE, the results will be returned as a vector of individual locus values.

Value

The numeric probability of the offspring given the parents
