#' Calculate QTL effects in scan along one chromosome
#'
#' Calculate QTL effects in scan along one chromosome with a
#' single-QTL model using Haley-Knott regression or a linear mixed
#' model (the latter to account for a residual polygenic effect), with
#' possible allowance for covariates.
#'
#' @param genoprobs Genotype probabilities as calculated by
#' [calc_genoprob()].
#' @param pheno A numeric vector of phenotype values (just one phenotype, not a matrix of them)
#' @param kinship Optional kinship matrix, or a list of kinship matrices (one
#' per chromosome), in order to use the LOCO (leave one chromosome
#' out) method.
#' @param addcovar An optional numeric matrix of additive covariates.
#' @param nullcovar An optional numeric matrix of additional additive
#' covariates that are used under the null hypothesis (of no QTL) but
#' not under the alternative (with a QTL). This is needed for the X
#' chromosome, where we might need sex as a additive covariate under
#' the null hypothesis, but we wouldn't want to include it under the
#' alternative as it would be collinear with the QTL effects. Only
#' used if `kinship` is provided but `hsq` is not, to get
#' estimate of residual heritability.
#' @param intcovar An optional numeric matrix of interactive covariates.
#' @param weights An optional numeric vector of positive weights for the
#' individuals. As with the other inputs, it must have `names`
#' for individual identifiers.
#' @param contrasts An optional numeric matrix of genotype contrasts, size
#' genotypes x genotypes. For an intercross, you might use
#' `cbind(mu=c(1,1,1), a=c(-1, 0, 1), d=c(0, 1, 0))` to get
#' mean, additive effect, and dominance effect. The default is the
#' identity matrix.
#' @param model Indicates whether to use a normal model (least
#' squares) or binary model (logistic regression) for the phenotype.
#' If `model="binary"`, the phenotypes must have values in \eqn{[0, 1]}.
#' @param zerosum If TRUE, force the genotype or allele coefficients
#' sum to 0 by subtracting their mean and add another column with
#' the mean. Ignored if `contrasts` is provided.
#' @param se If TRUE, also calculate the standard errors.
#' @param hsq (Optional) residual heritability; used only if
#' `kinship` provided.
#' @param reml If `kinship` provided: if `reml=TRUE`, use
#' REML; otherwise maximum likelihood.
#' @param ... Additional control parameters; see Details;
#'
#' @return An object of class `"scan1coef"`: a matrix of estimated regression coefficients, of dimension
#' positions x number of effects. The number of effects is
#' `n_genotypes + n_addcovar + (n_genotypes-1)*n_intcovar`.
#' May also contain the following attributes:
#' * `SE` - Present if `se=TRUE`: a matrix of estimated
#' standard errors, of same dimension as `coef`.
#' * `sample_size` - Vector of sample sizes used for each
#' phenotype
#'
#' @details For each of the inputs, the row names are used as
#' individual identifiers, to align individuals.
#'
#' If `kinship` is absent, Haley-Knott regression is performed.
#' If `kinship` is provided, a linear mixed model is used, with a
#' polygenic effect estimated under the null hypothesis of no (major)
#' QTL, and then taken as fixed as known in the genome scan.
#'
#' If `contrasts` is provided, the genotype probability matrix,
#' \eqn{P}, is post-multiplied by the contrasts matrix, \eqn{A}, prior
#' to fitting the model. So we use \eqn{P \cdot A}{P A} as the \eqn{X}
#' matrix in the model. One might view the rows of
#' \ifelse{html}{\out{<em>A</em><sup>-1</sup>}}{\eqn{A^{-1}}}
#' as the set of contrasts, as the estimated effects are the estimated
#' genotype effects pre-multiplied by
#' \ifelse{html}{\out{<em>A</em><sup>-1</sup>}}{\eqn{A^{-1}}}.
#'
#' The `...` argument can contain several additional control
#' parameters; suspended for simplicity (or confusion, depending on
#' your point of view). `tol` is used as a tolerance value for linear
#' regression by QR decomposition (in determining whether columns are
#' linearly dependent on others and should be omitted); default
#' `1e-12`. `maxit` is the maximum number of iterations for
#' converence of the iterative algorithm used when `model=binary`.
#' `bintol` is used as a tolerance for converence for the iterative
#' algorithm used when `model=binary`. `eta_max` is the maximum value
#' for the "linear predictor" in the case `model="binary"` (a bit of a
#' technicality to avoid fitted values exactly at 0 or 1).
