brd.mat: brd.mat makes a breeding matrix

In nicksard/mater: This package simulates breeding matrices for pedigree reconstructions

Description

This function makes a matrix where columns identify successfully breeding mothers and rows identify successfully breeding fathers. Zeros in the matrix identify mate pairs that did not mate and values of one identify mate pairs that did mate. Lambda can be set to a range of values to be randomly drawn uniformly from low and high values. If the user wants lambda to fixed set both the low and high values to the same number.

Usage

brd.mat(moms = 100, dads = 100, lambda.low = 3, lambda.high = 3)

Arguments

moms	is a integer representing the number of successfully breeding mothers
dads	is a integer representing the number of successfully breeding fathers
lambda.low	is a integer representing lambda (mean and variance in mating success)
lambda.high	is a integer representing lambda (mean and variance in mating success)

Value

A matrix with zeros and ones
