haplodata {hapsim}

Haplotype object creator

Description

Creates an haplotype data object needed for simulating haplotypes with haplosim. This object also contains some summary statistics about the real data.

Usage

haplodata(dat)

Arguments

dat

Value

A list containing:

freqs

Allele frequencies

cor

Correlation matrix (LD coefficients)

div

Locus-specific diversity measure

cov

Covariance matrix for the normal distribution
