Sample size information needed for flashfm, when samples are related and have effective sample sizes for each trait

makeNlist.rel(Ne, y = NULL, Nsame = NULL)

Arguments

Ne

vector or trait effective sample sizes
y

if available, matrix of trait measurements or indicators of non-NA trait measurements (all samples, not just unrelated);columns are traits; used to get joint sample counts; default is NULL and if not provided an approximation is used based on vector of trait sample sizes
Nsame

a single sample size that is the same for all traits

Value

list of 4 components: N = number of individuals with all traits measured; Nqq=matrix of all pair-wise counts of number of individuals with both traits in a pair measured; Nq3 = vector of counts of number of individuals with three traits measured; all triples considered; NULL if M < 4 Nq4 = vector of counts of number of individuals with four traits measured; all quadruples considered; NULL if M < 5
