chiCalc: Testing sample independence from genotype counts

In kkeenan02/diveRsity: A Comprehensive, General Purpose Population Genetics Analysis Package

Description

chiCalc carries out Fisher's exact tests of sample independence using genotype data.

Usage

chiCalc(infile = NULL, outfile = NULL, pairwise = FALSE, mcRep = 2000)

Arguments

infile	A character string indicating the location and name of a genepop format file to be read. If the file is in the current working directory, only the name must be provided. If the file is in a directory other than the current working directory, either a relative or absolute path to the file must be provided. The genepop file can be in the 2-digit or 3-digit allele format.
outfile	A character string indicating the prefix to be added to the results directory created. All results files will be written to this directory.
pairwise	A logical argument indicating whether sample independence should be tested between all population pairs.
mcRep	An integer specifying the number Monte Carlo test replicates. See ?fisher.test for more information.

Details

All results will be written to a user defined folder ("working_directory/outfile"), providing an argument is passed for 'outfile'. Otherwise, results will only be returned to the workspace.

Fisher's exact tests are carried out using the function fisher.test. Multilocus p values are calculated using Fisher's method for combining p value.

Value

overall	A data frame containing p values calculated across all population samples, per locus and across all loci.
multilocus_pw	Generated if pairwise = TRUE. The object is a data frame containing multilocus p value calculated for all population pairs.
locus_pw	A dataframe containing locus p values calculated for all pairs of populations. Rows represent loci, while columns represent pairwise comparisons.
