gen.meangendepthVar {GENLIB} | R Documentation |
Variance of genealogical depth
Description
Returns the variance of the genealogical depth
Usage
gen.meangendepthVar( gen, pro = "0", type = "MEAN", ...)
Arguments
gen |
An object of class GLgen obtained with gen.genealogy, gen.lineages or gen.branching. Required. |
pro |
Vector of proband id numbers to be included. Default is 0, which will select all individuals without children. |
type |
If type="MEAN" (default), the average of genealogical depth variances (over all probands) is returned. If type="IND", the variance of the genealogical depth is calculated for each specified proband. |
... |
Option to pass additionnal arguments automaticaly between methods. Internal use only. |
Value
A data frame with only one numeric value when type is "MEAN". When type is "IND", the number of rows equals the number of probands specified.
