Falconer's Formula
Description
Use Falconer's formula to solve for H using the observed correlations for two groups of any two levels of relatednesses.
Usage
calculateH(r1, r2, obsR1, obsR2)
Arguments
r1 |
Relatedness coefficient of the first group. |
r2 |
Relatedness coefficient of the second group. |
obsR1 |
Observed correlation between members of the first group. |
obsR2 |
Observed correlation between members of the second group. |
Details
This generalization of Falconer's formula provides a method to calculate heritability by using the observed correlations for two groups of any two relatednesses. This function solves for H using the formula:
H^2 = \frac{obsR1 - obsR2}{r1 - r2}
where r1 and r2 are the relatedness coefficients for the first and second group, respectively, and obsR1 and obsR2 are the observed correlations.
Value
Heritability estimates ('heritability_estimates').
