Build Pedigree mxModel

Source: R/buildmxPedigrees.R
buildPedigreeMx.Rd

This function constructs an OpenMx pedigree model by combining variance component parameters and family group models. It auto-detects which variance components are referenced in the group algebras and creates only those parameters.

Usage

buildPedigreeMx(
  model_name,
  vars,
  group_models,
  ci = FALSE,
  condenseMatrixSlots = TRUE
)

Arguments

model_name

Name of the overall pedigree model.

vars

A named list or vector of initial variance component values.

group_models

A list of OpenMx models for each family group.

ci

Logical. If TRUE, include confidence interval computations for the variance components. Default is FALSE

condenseMatrixSlots

Logical. If TRUE, use the mxCondenseMatrixSlots wrapper to optimize memory usage for large matrices. Default is TRUE.

Value

An OpenMx pedigree model combining variance components and family groups.
