Description

Part of Genetic Value Analysis

Usage

findOffspring(probands, ped)

Arguments

`probands`	character vector of egos for which offspring should be counted and returned.
`ped`	the pedigree information in datatable format. Pedigree (req. fields: id, sire, dam, gen, population). This requires complete pedigree information.

Value

A named vector containing the offspring counts for each animal in probands. Rownames are set to the IDs from probands.

Examples

library(nprcgenekeepr)
examplePedigree <- nprcgenekeepr::examplePedigree
breederPed <- qcStudbook(examplePedigree, minParentAge = 2,
                         reportChanges = FALSE,
                         reportErrors = FALSE)
focalAnimals <- breederPed$id[!(is.na(breederPed$sire) &
                                  is.na(breederPed$dam)) &
                                is.na(breederPed$exit)]
ped <- setPopulation(ped = breederPed, ids = focalAnimals)
trimmedPed <- trimPedigree(focalAnimals, breederPed)
probands <- ped$id[ped$population]
totalOffspring <- findOffspring(probands, ped)
