is.hwEq {gdmp} | R Documentation |
Given individual genotypes of a single SNP, the function checks a population of individuals for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
is.hwEq(snpG, diff)
snpG |
is a column vector in the genotypes array, created by |
diff |
heterozygosity difference used in HW equilibrium, see ‘Details’. |
A logical function to check for HW equilibrium, the expected frequency of the heterozygous
genotype is estimated based on the two homozygous genetypes by ‘sqrt(4*p^2*q^2)’.
The absolute difference between the expected and observed frequency of the heterozygous
genotype of the SNP needs to be smaller than the minimum difference of diff
.
A logical TRUE for H-W equilibrium or FALSE for H-W disequilibrium is returned.
