Distance between crossovers

Description

Calculates the density of the distance from a given crossover to the next crossover, for the gamma model.

Usage

ioden(nu, L = 103, x = NULL, n = 400, max.conv = 25)

Arguments

nu

The interference parameter in the gamma model.

L

Maximal distance (in cM) at which to calculate the density. Ignored if x is specified.

x

If specified, points at which to calculate the density.

n

Number of points at which to calculate the density. The points will be evenly distributed between 0 and L. Ignored if x is specified.

max.conv

Maximum limit for summation in the convolutions to get inter-crossover distance distribution from the inter-chiasma distance distributions. This should be greater than the maximum number of chiasmata on the 4-strand bundle.

Details

Let f(x;\nu) denote the density of a gamma random variable with parameters shape=\nu and rate=2\nu, and let f_k(x;\nu) denote the density of a gamma random variable with parameters shape=k \nu and rate=2\nu.

The distribution of the distance from one crossover to the next is f^*(x;\nu) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} f_k(x;\nu)/2^k.

Value

A data frame with two columns: x is the distance (between 0 and L, in cM) at which the density was calculated and f is the density.
