segtest

NSF-2132247 License: GPL v3 R-CMD-check Codecov test coverage

This is a light version of the original package, menbayes, that only contains the likelihood ratio approaches. This is for easier maintenance and install. See the menbayes package for the Bayesian tests.

Provides a suite of tests for segregation distortion in F1 polyploid populations (for now, just tetraploids). This is under different assumptions of meiosis. The main functions are:

We also provide some functions from competing methods, which we do not recommend using:

Details of these methods may be found in Gerard et al. (2024).
