Compare Pairwise Relationships

ComparePairs.Rd

Compare, count and identify different types of relative pairs between two pedigrees, or within one pedigree.

Usage

ComparePairs(
  Ped1 = NULL,
  Ped2 = NULL,
  Pairs2 = NULL,
  GenBack = 1,
  patmat = FALSE,
  ExcludeDummies = TRUE,
  DumPrefix = c("F0", "M0"),
  Return = "Counts"
)

Arguments

Ped1

first (e.g. original/reference) pedigree, dataframe with 3 columns: id-dam-sire.

Ped2

optional second (e.g. inferred) pedigree.

Pairs2

optional dataframe with as first three columns: ID1-ID2- relationship, e.g. as returned by GetMaybeRel. Column names and any additional columns are ignored. May be provided in addition to, or instead of Ped2.

GenBack

number of generations back to consider; 1 returns parent-offspring and sibling relationships, 2 also returns grandparental, avuncular and first cousins. GenBack >2 is not implemented.

patmat

logical, distinguish between paternal versus maternal relative pairs?

ExcludeDummies

logical, exclude dummy IDs from output? Individuals with e.g. the same dummy father will still be counted as paternal halfsibs. No attempt is made to match dummies in one pedigree to individuals in the other pedigree; for that use PedCompare.

DumPrefix

character vector with the prefixes identifying dummy individuals. Use 'F0' ('M0') to avoid matching to regular individuals with IDs starting with 'F' ('M'), provided Ped2 has fewer than 999 dummy females (males).

Return

return a matrix with Counts or a Summary of the number of identical relationships and mismatches per relationship, or detailed results as a 2xNxN Array or as a Dataframe. All returns a list with all four.

Value

Depending on Return, one of the following, or a list with all:

Counts

(the default), a matrix with counts, with the classification in Ped1 on rows and that in Ped2 in columns. Counts for 'symmetrical' pairs ("FS", "HS", "MHS", "PHS", "FC1", "DFC1", "U","X") are divided by two.

Summary

a matrix with one row per relationship type and four columns , named as if Ped1 is the true pedigree:

n

total number of pairs with that relationship in Ped1, and occurring in Ped2

OK

Number of pairs with same relationship in Ped2 as in Ped1

hi

Number of pairs with 'higher' relationship in Ped2 as in Ped1 (e.g. FS instead of HS; ranking is the order given below)

lo

Number of pairs with 'lower' relationship in Ped2 as in Ped1, but not unrelated in Ped2

Array

a 2xNxN array (if Ped2 or Pairs2 is specified) or a NxN matrix , where N is the total number of individuals occurring in Ped1 and/or Ped2.

Dataframe

a dataframe with \(N^2\) rows and four columns:

id.A

First individual of the pair

id.B

Second individual of the pair

RC1

the relationship category in Ped1, as a factor with all considered categories as levels, including those with 0 count

RC2

the relationship category in Ped2

Each pair is listed twice, e.g. once as P and once as O, or twice as FS.

Details

If Pairs2 is as returned by GetMaybeRel (identified by the additional column names 'LLR' and 'OH'), these relationship categories are appended with an '?' in the output, to distinguish them from those derived from Ped2.

When Pairs2$TopRel contains values other than the ones listed among the return values for the combination of patmat and GenBack, they are prioritised in decreasing order of factor levels, or in decreasing alphabetical order, and before the default (ped2 derived) levels.

The matrix returned by DyadCompare [Deprecated] is a subset of the matrix returned here using default settings.

Relationship abbreviations and ranking

By default (GenBack=1, patmat=FALSE) the following 7 relationships are distinguished:

  • S: Self (not included in Counts)

  • MP: Parent

  • O: Offspring (not included in Counts)

  • FS: Full sibling

  • HS: Half sibling

  • U: Unrelated, or otherwise related

  • X: Either or both individuals not occurring in both pedigrees

In the array and dataframe, 'MP' indicates that the second (column) individual is the parent of the first (row) individual, and 'O' indicates the reverse.

When GenBack=1, patmat=TRUE the categories are (S)-M-P-(O)-FS-MHS-PHS- U-X.

When GenBack=2, patmat=TRUE, the following relationships are distinguished:

  • S: Self (not included in Counts)

  • M: Mother

  • P: Father

  • O: Offspring (not included in Counts)

  • FS: Full sibling

  • MHS: Maternal half-sibling

  • PHS: Paternal half-sibling

  • MGM: Maternal grandmother

  • MGF: Maternal grandfather

  • PGM: Paternal grandmother

  • PGF: Paternal grandfather

  • GO: Grand-offspring (not included in Counts)

  • FA: Full avuncular; maternal or paternal aunt or uncle

  • HA: Half avuncular

  • FN: Full nephew/niece (not included in Counts)

  • HN: Half nephew/niece (not included in Counts)

  • FC1: Full first cousin

  • DFC1: Double full first cousin

  • U: Unrelated, or otherwise related

  • X: Either or both individuals not occurring in both pedigrees

Note that for avuncular and cousin relationships no distinction is made between paternal versus maternal, as this may differ between the two individuals and would generate a large number of sub-classes. When a pair is related via multiple paths, the first-listed relationship is returned. To get all the different paths between a pair, use GetRelM with Return='Array'.

When GenBack=2, patmat=FALSE, MGM, MGF, PGM and PGF are combined into GP, with the rest of the categories analogous to the above.
