kinsim_single

kinsim_single.Rd

The function to generate one group of univariate kin pair (e.g., only DZ twins) data using a multivariate norm approach, given the ACE components.

Usage

kinsim_single(
  name = "KinPair1",
  Rel = 1,
  r_c = 1,
  n = 100,
  mu = 0,
  ace = c(1, 1, 1)
)

Arguments

name

Assigned name for the simulated group of kin pairs

Rel

Genetic relatedness of the simulated kin pairs

r_c

Assumed common environment correlation

n

The number of generated kin pairs.(n PAIRS of data; The total number of participants is 2n)

mu

The mean for generated variable

ace

Vector of variance components under an ACE (additive genetics, common environment, unique environment) structure

Value

Returns data.frame with the following:

GroupName

group name of the kin pairs

R

level of genetic relatedness for the kin pairs

r_c

level of common envrionment correlation of the kin pairs

id

id

A1

C1

shared-environmental component for kin1 of the kin pairs

C2

shared-environmental component for kin2 of the kin pairs

E1

non-shared-environmental component for kin1 of the kin pairs

E2
