Program descstat allows you to check that your sample size is correct and check that scaling, standardization, or transformation have had the desired effect. File model.dat optionally informs prepap about the genetic model if the user is changing only the parameter values. Please note that the input model.dat will be overwritten by prepap . If insufficient storage has been allotted, prepap outputs an error message to the console and terminates execution. Six default models may be selected in place of user input of the model information.
Program simul simulates phenotypes for output to data files.
When linking simul you select from libraries of subroutines named papfq, paptc, dmlpr, qmlpr , and papwg with 1-3 additional characters in each name. Line 2 of model.dat lists the subroutines selected for your application. See section VI.9 for more information about simulation. If option 4 is selected, the final parameter values are output in model.dat . Note that the input model.dat will be overwritten upon termination of the program.
