as.simugeno: simugeno constructor

In forensim: Statistical tools for the interpretation of forensic DNA mixtures

Description

Constructor for simugeno objects.
The function simugeno creates a simugeno object from a tabfreq object.

The function as.simugeno is an alias for simugeno function.

is.simugeno tests if an object is a valid simugeno object.

Note: to get the manpage about simugeno, please type 'class ? simugeno'.

Usage

simugeno(tab,which.loc=NULL,n=1)
as.simugeno(tab,which.loc=NULL,n=1)
is.simugeno(x)

Arguments

tab	a tabfreq object created with constructor tabfreq
which.loc	a character vector giving the chosen loci for the genotypes simulation. The default is set to NULL, which corresponds to all the loci of the tabfreq object given in argument
n	integer vector giving the number of individuals. If there are several populations, n gives the numbers of individuals to simulate per population. For a single population, default is 1.
x	an object

Details

At a given locus, an individual's genotype is simulated by randomly drawing two alleles (with replacement) at their respective allele frequencies in the target population.

Value

For simugeno and as.simugeno, a simugeno object. For is.simugeno, a logical.
