Class "MMLoess". Interpolation method plug-in for MareyMap

Description

This packages provides an interpolation method that estimates the recombination rates using loess. For more details on how this method works, see loess.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("MMLoess", ...) or simply by calling MMLoess().

Slots

span:

Object of class "numeric", parameters that controls the degree of smoothing.

degree:

Object of class "integer", the degree of the polynomials to be used, up to 2.

model:

Object of class "ANY"

name:

Object of class "character", name of the interpolation.

color:

Object of class "character", color of the interpolation on the map.

physicalPositions:

Object of class "vector", physical positions of the markers of the map on which the interpolation is calculated.

rates:

Object of class "vector", the local estimation of the recombination rate at the position of each markers.

visible:

Object of class "logical", wether the interpolation should be plotted or not.

persistent:

Object of class "logical", wether the interpolation should be saved along with the map in the text file

Extends

Class "Interpolation", directly.
