varcomp.glob {hierfstat}

Estimate variance components and hierarchical F-statistics over all loci

Description

Return multilocus estimators of variance components and F-statistics

Usage

varcomp.glob(levels=levels,loci=loci,diploid=TRUE)

Arguments

levels

a data frame containing the different levels (factors) from the outermost (e.g. region) to the innermost before the individual

loci

a data frame containing the different loci

diploid

Specify whether the data are coming from diploid or haploid organisms (diploid is the default)

Value

loc

The variance components for each locus

overall

The variance components summed over all loci

F

a matrix of hierarchical F-statistics type-coefficients with the first line corresponding to F_{(n-1)/n},F_{(n-2)/n}...F_{i/n} and the diagonal corresponding to F_{(n-1)/n}, F_{(n-2)/(n-1)},F_{i/2}
