Overview

About

Maintained by Jerome GoudetFirst published 2004-08-1415 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Estimates hierarchical F-statistics from haploid or diploid genetic data with any numbers of levels in the hierarchy, following the algorithm of Yang (Evolution(1998), 52:950). Tests via randomisations the significance of each F and variance components, using the likelihood-ratio statistics G (Goudet et al. (1996) https://academic.oup.com/genetics/article/144/4/1933/6017091). Estimates genetic diversity statistics for haploid and diploid genetic datasets in various formats, including inbreeding and coancestry coefficients, and population specific F-statistics following Weir and Goudet (2017) https://academic.oup.com/genetics/article/206/4/2085/6072590.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("hierfstat", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("jgx65/hierfstat")

Development version from jgx65/hierfstat. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-hierfstat

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-hierfstat

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
