Probability of contribution of each individual
Description
This function computes the probability of contribution for each individual of a given pool. Please note that this function works for a single pool and should not be directly applied to situations where multiple pools were used.
Usage
indProbs(np, nSNPs, pError)
Arguments
np |
an integer specifying how many individuals were pooled. |
nSNPs |
an integer indicating how many SNPs exist in the data. |
pError |
an integer representing the value of the error associated with DNA pooling. This value is related with the unequal individual contribution towards the total number of reads contributed by a single pool - the higher the value the more unequal are the individual contributions. |
Value
a matrix with the probabilities of contribution for each individual. Each row represents a different individual and each column is a different site.
Examples
# probability of contribution for 10 individuals at 5 sites
indProbs(np = 10, nSNPs = 5, pError = 100)
