build.charmatrix {prabclus}

Internal: create character matrix out of allele list

Description

For use in alleleinit. Creates a matrix of characters in which there are two rows for every individual corresponding to the two alleles in every locus (column) out of a list of lists, such as required by alleledist.

Usage

   build.charmatrix(allelelist,n.individuals,n.variables)

Arguments

allelelist

A list of lists. In the "outer" list, there are n.variables lists, one for each locus. In the "inner" list, for every individual there is a vector of two codes (typically characters, see alleleinit) for the two alleles in that locus.

n.individuals

integer. Number of individuals.

n.variables

integer. Number of loci.

Value

A matrix of characters in which there are two rows for every individual corresponding to the two alleles in every locus (column).
