Class MaxTwoPointLods

java.lang.Object
  extended by MaxTwoPointLods

public class MaxTwoPointLods
extends java.lang.Object

This program finds the maximum lod score for values of the recombination between 0 and 1 (not 0 and 0.5).

where

The results are written to the standard output file as a bare table with a row for each marker and two columns. The first column gives the maximizing value of the recombination fraction and the second gives the maximized lod score.

The method used is a golden section search that takes about 20 function evaluations to get to within 0.001 of the maximizing value.

The program maximizes the lod scores separately over the two intervals (0,0.5) and (0.5,1), because there may be a local maximum in each of these intervals. The output is a bare table of 4 columns giving the maximizing value and maximum in the region (0,0.5) followed by the maximizing value and maximum in the region (0.5,1). Values of the recombination paramter in the region (0.5,1) have no genetic interpretation, but may occur if the phase information is low and/or the model is misspecified. If you don't think you want values in the (0.5,1) region, just ignore the last two columns.
