genAILped: Generate a pedigree matrix for AIL

In kbroman/ricalc: Calculations for Recombinant Inbred Lines

Generate a pedigree matrix for AIL

Description

Generate a pedigree matrix, for use with the simulation function sim.ped, for advanced intercross lines.

Usage

genAILped(ngen=8, npairs=20, sibship.size=10)

Arguments

ngen	Number of generations of crosses.
npairs	Number of mating pairs per generation.
sibship.size	Size of sibships in the final generation.

Details

We generate equal numbers of males and females at each generation. Matings are with random male/female pairs, with no attempt to avoid matings between siblings.

Value

The output is a matrix with five columns: "id", "sex" (coded as 0=female, 1=male), "mom", "dad", and "generation".
