Simulate Allele Counts for Single Individual - Simple Approach

Source: R/sim.ind.simple.R
sim.ind.simple.Rd

This function is used to simulate coverage of each allele at biallelic heterozygous sites assuming a binomial distribution.

Usage

sim.ind.simple(mvec, cover = 100, s.size = 50000, sampled = TRUE)

Arguments

mvec

Vector of means.

cover

Coverage of sites.

s.size

Number of biallelic sites to generate. Defaults to 50000. Warning, the number of sites generated will not be the number of sites returned due to filtering steps.

sampled

Default as TRUE. Will randomly sample allele A or allele B, then return a data frame with total coverage and coverage of a randomly sampled allele will be returned.

Value

If sampled = FALSE, a data frame with total coverage, coverage of allele A, and coverage of allele B will be returned. If sampled = TRUE, a data frame with total coverage and coverage of a randomly sampled allele will be returned.

Examples

xm <- sim.ind.simple(mvec = c(0.5), s.size = 100)
