R Documentation

genpop constructor

Description

The function new has a method for building genpop objects. See the class description of genpop for more information on this data structure. The functions genpop and as.genpop are aliases for new("genpop", ...).

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'genpop'
initialize(
  .Object,
  tab,
  prevcall = NULL,
  ploidy = 2L,
  type = c("codom", "PA"),
  ...
)

genpop(...)

as.genpop(...)

Arguments

`.Object`	prototyped object (generated automatically when calling 'new')
`tab`	A matrix of integers corresponding to the @tab slot of a genpop object, with individuals in rows and alleles in columns, and containing either allele counts
`prevcall`	an optional call to be stored in the object
`ploidy`	an integer vector indicating the ploidy of the individual; each individual can have a different value; if only one value is provided, it is recycled to generate a vector of the right length.
`type`	a character string indicating the type of marker: codominant ("codom") or presence/absence ("PA")
`...`	further arguments passed to other methods (currently not used)

Details

Most users do not need using the constructor, but merely to convert raw allele data using genind2genpop.
