Calculates a pairwise Fst values for populations in a genlight object

Source: R/gl.fst.pop.r
gl.fst.pop.Rd

This script calculates pairwise Fst values based on the implementation in the StAMPP package (?stamppFst). It allows to run bootstrap to estimate probability of Fst values to be different from zero. For detailed information please check the help pages (?stamppFst).

Usage

gl.fst.pop(x, nboots = 1, percent = 95, nclusters = 1, verbose = NULL)

Arguments

x

Name of the genlight containing the SNP genotypes [required].

nboots

Number of bootstraps to perform across loci to generate confidence intervals and p-values [default 1].

percent

Percentile to calculate the confidence interval around [default 95].

nclusters

Number of processor threads or cores to use during calculations [default 1].

verbose

Verbosity: 0, silent or fatal errors; 1, begin and end; 2, progress log ; 3, progress and results summary; 5, full report [default 2, unless specified using gl.set.verbosity].

Value

A matrix of distances between populations (class dist), if nboots =1, otherwise a list with Fsts (in a matrix), Pvalues (a matrix of pvalues), Bootstraps results (data frame of all runs). Hint: Use as.matrix(as.dist(fsts)) if you want to have a squared matrix with symmetric entries returned, instead of a dist object.
