R Documentation

Calculates a distance matrix for individuals defined in a genlight object using SNP data (DArTseq)

Description

WARNING: UTILITY SCRIPTS ARE FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE USED BY END USERS AS THEIR USE OUT OF CONTEXT COULD LEAD TO UNPREDICTABLE OUTCOMES.

Usage

utils.dist.ind.snp(
  x,
  method = "Euclidean",
  scale = FALSE,
  type = "dist",
  verbose = NULL
)

Arguments

`x`	Name of the genlight containing the genotypes [required].
`method`	Specify distance measure [default Euclidean].
`scale`	If TRUE and method='Euclidean', the distance will be scaled to fall in the range [0,1] [default FALSE].
`type`	Specify the format and class of the object to be returned, dist for a object of class dist, matrix for an object of class matrix [default "dist"].
`verbose`	Verbosity: 0, silent or fatal errors; 1, begin and end; 2, progress log; 3, progress and results summary; 5, full report [default 2].

Details

This script calculates various distances between individuals based on SNP genotypes. The distance measure can be one of:

Euclidean – Euclidean Distance applied to Cartesian coordinates defined by the loci, scored as 0, 1 or 2.
Simple – simple mismatch, 0 where no alleles are shared, 1 where one allele is shared, 2 where both alleles are shared.
Absolute – absolute mismatch, 0 where no alleles are shared, 1 where one or both alleles are shared.
Czekanowski (or Manhattan) calculates the city block metric distance by summing the scores on each axis (locus).

Value

An object of class 'dist' or 'matrix' giving distances between individuals
