6.5.3 markerdrop population model parameters

set trait K1 frequencies X1 X2

This statement specifies trait allele frequencies. Trait must be biallelic; both allele frequencies must be listed and must sum to a value between 0.9999 and 1.0001. Otherwise markerdrop automatically normalizes the allele frequencies and issues a warning. Only one trait may be included in this statement.

set marker names N1 N2 ...

This statement specifies marker names in the order of their position along the chromosome. Default names are marker-1, marker-2, etc.

set markers J1 ... frequencies X1 X2 ...

Marker allele frequencies are specified using this statement. A marker can have up to 100 alleles and all allele frequencies must be listed. For each marker, the allele frequencies should sum to between 0.9999 and 1.0001. Otherwise they are automatically normalized and a warning message will be issued. Multiple markers can be included in a single statement if they have the same number of alleles with the same frequencies.
