Reversible stepwise mutation model

Description

A reversible stepwise mutation model is created following the approach of Dawid et al. (2002).

Usage

stepwiseReversible(alleles, afreq, rate, range, maxRateOnly = FALSE)

Arguments

alleles

A vector of integer integers.

afreq

A numeric vector of allele frequencies.

rate

A numeric mutation rate.

range

A positive number.

maxRateOnly

A logical, by default FALSE. See Value.

Details

For the stepwise reversible model, the mutation rate r_{i,j},\, i\neq j is proportional to the overall mutation rate \lambda for given values of the range, the allele frequency p_i and n, the number of alleles. Hence, one can determine bounds UW and UB so that the model is well defined if \lambda \leq UW and bounded, i.e., r_{i,j} \leq p_j,\, i\neq j, if \lambda \leq UB, The bounds UW and UB are computed.

Value

A reversible stepwise mutation model with overall mutation rate equal to rate.

If maxRateOnly is TRUE, the function returns a vector of two numbers named UW and UB. The first of these is the maximum overall mutation rate for a well-defined stepwise reversible mutation matrix with the given input. The latter (UB) is the maximum rate under the additional restraint that the model is bounded by afreq.

Examples

stepwiseReversible(alleles = 1:3,
                   afreq = c(0.2, 0.3,  0.5),
                   rate = 0.001,
                   range = 0.1)

stepwiseReversible(alleles = 1:3,
                   afreq = c(0.2, 0.3,  0.5),
                   range = 0.1,
                   maxRateOnly = TRUE)

# Model not well defined:
## Not run: 
stepwiseReversible(alleles = 1:3,
                   afreq = c(0.2, 0.3,  0.5),
                   rate = 0.7,
                   range = 0.1)

## End(Not run)
