LDkl {gap}R Documentation

LD statistics for two multiallelic markers

Description

LD statistics for two multiallelic loci. For two diallelic makers, the familiar r^2 has standard error seX2.

Usage

LDkl(n1 = 2, n2 = 2, h, n, optrho = 2, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

n1

number of alleles at marker 1.

n2

number of alleles at marker 2.

h

a vector of haplotype frequencies.

n

number of haplotypes.

optrho

type of contingency table association, 0=Pearson, 1=Tschuprow, 2=Cramer (default).

verbose

detailed output of individual statistics.

Value

The returned value is a list containing:
