QTL Variance

Description

Estimate variance in a quantitative trait induced by QTL.

Usage

qtlVar(lrt, prdat, simulation = FALSE, nsim = 25)

Arguments

lrt

A data frame (a, d, ...), where 'a' and 'd' are respectively additive and dominance effects.

prdat

A 3-D array that provides probabilities of genotypes "AA", "AB" and "BB". If prDat is an object of genoProb, then prdat can be prDat$pr.

simulation

Whether to use simulations to estimate the variance explained by QTL.

nsim

Number of simulations to perform if simulation is TRUE.

Value

A vector displaying the estimated variance at each loci.

Note

Correlations among observations are ignored, and this function should be used with caution.
