gn3sim function

Generating Random DNA Samples Using the Rambaut and Grassly Method

This function generates random DNA samples using Rambaut and Grassly method.

gn3sim(theta, seqLength, merge2)

Arguments

• theta: a vector of variables containing the following parameters in this order--1. the first three parameters from $\pi_X$ vector, 2. the first three parameters from $\pi_Y$ vector, 3. the first three parameters from $f_0$ vector, 4. the six off-diagonal free parameters in the S matrix, 5. a scalar $\rho$, 6. a vector of lengths containing K-2 values
• seqLength: the length of sequences we need to generate
• merge2: (K-1) x 2 matrix describing the tree topology

Details

This function generates a $4^K$ DNA array using Rambaut and Grassly, (1997) method. It depends on a set of variables theta, the sequence length and a merge matrix describing the tree topology.

Returns

A n x K observed divergence matrix
