Take a pedigree and turn it into an additive genetics relatedness matrix

Usage

ped2add(
  ped,
  max.gen = 25,
  sparse = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  gc = FALSE,
  flatten.diag = FALSE,
  standardize.colnames = TRUE,
  transpose_method = "tcrossprod",
  adjacency_method = "indexed",
  saveable = FALSE,
  resume = FALSE,
  save_rate = 5,
  save_rate_gen = save_rate,
  save_rate_parlist = 1000 * save_rate,
  save_path = "checkpoint/",
  ...
)

Arguments

ped: a pedigree dataset. Needs ID, momID, and dadID columns
max.gen: the maximum number of generations to compute (e.g., only up to 4th degree relatives). The default is 25. However it can be set to infinity. `Inf` uses as many generations as there are in the data.
sparse: logical. If TRUE, use and return sparse matrices from Matrix package
verbose: logical. If TRUE, print progress through stages of algorithm
gc: logical. If TRUE, do frequent garbage collection via gc to save memory
flatten.diag: logical. If TRUE, overwrite the diagonal of the final relatedness matrix with ones
standardize.colnames: logical. If TRUE, standardize the column names of the pedigree dataset
transpose_method: character. The method to use for computing the transpose. Options are "tcrossprod", "crossprod", or "star"
adjacency_method: character. The method to use for computing the adjacency matrix. Options are "loop" or "indexed"
saveable: logical. If TRUE, save the intermediate results to disk
resume: logical. If TRUE, resume from a checkpoint
save_rate: numeric. The rate at which to save the intermediate results
save_rate_gen: numeric. The rate at which to save the intermediate results by generation. If NULL, defaults to save_rate
save_rate_parlist: numeric. The rate at which to save the intermediate results by parent list. If NULL, defaults to save_rate*1000
save_path: character. The path to save the checkpoint files
...: additional arguments to be passed to ped2com
