The simsnp is the simulated dataset which consists of 3,000 independent SNPs and 753 individuals belonging to one of three populations (250 individuals each) and 3 outlying individuals. The pairwise genetic distance between populations was set to Fst=0.01 as in Balding (1995).

Details

ind.info

A character matrix of 753 rows and 6 columns representing individuals and individual information respectively. The columns of ind.info represents sample_ID, family_ID, father_ID, mother_ID, gender, and phenotype respectively.

snp.info

A character matrix of 3,000 rows and 6 columns representing SNPs and SNP information respectively. The columns of snp.info represents SNP_CHR (chromosome), SNP_ID, centimorgan, position, allele1, and allele2 respectively.

snp

A numeric matrix of 753 rows and 3,000 columns representing individuals and SNPs respectively. The matrix snp contains the number 0, 1, and 2 representing SNP in additive coding.
