bin {GAGBLUP}

Binning Genotypes for Dimensional Reduction

Description

Binning the original genotypes into bins for dimensional reduction under the principle of linkage disequilibrium.

Usage

bin(genotype = genotype, binvar = 0.15)

Arguments

genotype

a matrix for genotypes in numeric format, coded as 1, 0 and -1, with individuals in rows and markers in cols.

binvar

a hyper-parameter between 0 and 1, the closer to 0, the fewer bins yields. Users can choose binvar based on the required number of bins, default is 0.15.

Value

A list with following information is returned: $bins_genotypes binned genotypes $bins_range start and stop of each bin

Examples

## load example data from GAGBLUP package
data(genotype)
## binning genotypes
bins <- bin(genotype,0.2)
