Inference concerning equilibrium and random mating in autopolyploids. Methods are available to test for equilibrium and random mating at any even ploidy level (>2) in the presence of double reduction at biallelic loci. For autopolyploid populations in equilibrium, methods are available to estimate the degree of double reduction. We also provide functions to calculate genotype frequencies at equilibrium, or after one or several rounds of random mating, given rates of double reduction. For details of these methods, see Gerard (2021).

The main functions for inference are:

Functions are provided for calculating genotype frequencies for individuals and gametes:

The bounds on the double reduction rate under the complete equational segregation model are provided by drbounds().

Functions for evaluating the uniformity of p-values are provided in ts_bands() and qqpvalue().
