pvalue.machine: Computes the p-value for LR.suspect

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) Examples

Description

It is difficult to obtain accurate p-values based on simulation. This function provides an exact alternative

Usage

1
pvalue.machine(LR.suspect, LR.table, P.table)

Arguments

LR.suspect

Numeric. Observed likeliood ratio (1x1 positive value)

LR.table

Pre-computed likelihood ratios for every genotype of every marker (MxG matrix). Each row corresponds to a marker. G is the maximum number of genotypes for any marker. Markers with fewer than G genotypes must have 0 in redundant columns

P.table

The population probabilities for every genotype of every marker (MxG matrix). Must corresponds to the genotypes in LR.table. See description of LR.table

Value

The p-value, where a value close to 0 indicates that the suspect is a contributor

#Simple example, 2 markers, 3 genotypes. LR's and genotype probabilities precalculated

#The population probabilities corresponding to the genotypes in LR.table
