Half-sib pedigree construction

Description

Simulates a pedigree for a half-sib mating design (sometimes also called the North Carolina Design 1).

Usage

simPedHS(s, d, n, uniqueDname = TRUE, prefix = NULL)

Arguments

s

Number of sires

d

Number of dams per sire

n

Number of offspring per mating (must be > or = 2)

uniqueDname

Logical indicating if dams should have unique names within sire families or throughout the entire pedigree

prefix

Optional prefix to add to every identity

Details

n must be greater than or equal to 2, because one male and one female offspring are produced from each mating

Some functions/calculations get bogged down if no two dams have the same ID in the entire pedigree (e.g., aov). However, other functions must have unique identifiers for every individual.

Value

A data.frame with columns corresponding to: id, dam, sire, and sex. Sex is "M" for males and "F" for females.
