DirichSampSat {HWEBayes}R Documentation

Simulate samples from a Dirichlet prior or posterior under the saturated model

Description

Function to simulate samples from the satuated Dirichlet model. Can be used for samples from the prior or the (conjugate) Dirichlet posterior, both in the k allele case. Samples are generated for the genotype frequencies in the order p_{11}, p_{12},..., p_{1k},p_{22} ..., p_{2k},..., p_{kk}, the allele frequencies, and the fixation indices.

Usage

DirichSampSat(nvec, bvec, nsim)

Arguments

nvec vector of genotype frequencies in the order n_{11}, n_{12},..., n_{1k},n_{22} ..., n_{2k},..., n_{kk}.
bvec vector of length k(k+1)/2 Dirichlet prior parameters, where k is the number of alleles.
nsim number of samples to simulate from the prior/posterior.

Details

Uses the rdirichlet function from the MCMCpack library.

Value

pvec matrix of size nsim times k(k+1)/2 containing samples for the genotype frequencies, in the order p_{11}, p_{12},..., p_{1k},p_{22} ..., p_{2k},..., p_{kk}.
pmat matrix of size nsim times k(k+1)/2 times k(k+1)/2 containing samples for the genotype probabilities.
pmarg matrix of size nsim times k containing samples for the allele frequencies, in the order p_{1},..., p_k.
fixind matrix of size nsim times k(k+1)/2 times k(k+1)/2 containing samples for the fixation indices, contained in the lower diagonal, i.e. fixind[,i,j] for [i>j].

Examples

# First sample from the prior
PriorSampSat <- DirichSampSat(nvec=rep(0,10),bvec=rep(1,10),nsim=1000)
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
hist(PriorSampSat$pvec[,1],xlab="p1",main="")
hist(PriorSampSat$fixind[,2,1],xlab="f21",main="")
# Now sample from the posterior
data(DiabRecess)
PostSampSat <- DirichSampSat(nvec=DiabRecess,bvec=rep(1,10),nsim=1000)
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
hist(PostSampSat$pvec[,1],xlab="p1",main="")
hist(PostSampSat$fixind[,2,1],xlab="f21",main="")
