exp_g {purgeR}

Expected purged inbreeding coefficient

Description

Estimates the expected purged inbreeding coefficient (g) as a function of the effective population size, generation number, and purging coefficient

Usage

exp_g(Ne, t, d)

Arguments

Ne

Effective population size

t

Generation number

d

Purging coefficient (taking values between 0.0 and 0.5).

Details

Computation of the purged inbreeding coefficient is calculated as in García-Dorado (2012):

g(t) = [ (1 - 1/2N) g(t-1) + 1/2N] * [1 - 2d F(t-1)]

When convergence is reached, the asymptotic value g(a) is returned:

g(a) = (1 - 2d) / (1 + 2d (2N-1))

Value

The purged inbreeding coefficient
