Composition like classes & functions
Hello! I am working on "breed composition" of animals in my project. Say I have an animal 1 with parents 2 (father) and 3 (mother). If father is of breed A and mother of breed B, then their descendant is of breed AB or 50 % of A and 50 % of B. I would like to have a general way to represent this kind of data. I was thinking about list structure i.e. list(A=0.5, B=0.5) $A [1] 0.5 $B [1] 0.5 Additionally, it should accommodate for more than 2 "classes". However, I would like to ask if there is anything like this already in R or contributed packages. Thanks!
Lep pozdrav / With regards,
Gregor Gorjanc
