impute2databel {GenABEL}R Documentation

converts IMPUTE-imputed files to DatABEL (filevector) format

Description

this function converts IMPUTE-imputed files to DatABEL (filevector) format containing estimated dosages. After conversion, two files (outfile.fvi and outfile.fvd), corresponding to a single filevector object, will appear on the disk; a 'databel-class' object connected to these files will be returned to R.
