test.within {hierfstat}R Documentation

Tests the significance of the effect of inner.level on genetic differentiation within blocks defined by outer.level

Usage

test.within(data, within, test.lev, nperm, ...)

Arguments

data a data frame containing the genotypes for the different loci
within A vector containing the units in which to keep the observations
test.lev A vector containing the units from which to construct the contingency tables
nperm The number of permutations to carry out for the test
... Mainly here to allow passing diploid=FALSE if necessary

Value

g.star A vector containing all the generated g-statistics, the last one beeing the observed
p.val The p-value associated with the test
