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.

### Usage

      impute2databel(genofile, samplefile, outfile,
        makeprob = TRUE, old = FALSE, dataOutType = "FLOAT")

### Arguments

`genofile` | IMPUTE genotype file name
`samplefile` | IMPUTE sample file name
`outfile` | output file name
`makeprob` | whether probability-files are also to be arranged
`old` | for developers' use only
`dataOutType` | the output data type, either "FLOAT" or "DOUBLE" (or another DatABEL/filevector type)

### Value

'databel-class' object
