Random sequences generation
Description
Generates random sequences.
Usage
seqgen(n, length, alphabet, p)
Arguments
n |
number of sequences to generate |
length |
sequences length |
alphabet |
the alphabet from which the sequences are generated |
p |
an optional vector of probabilities for the states in the alphabet. Must be of the same length as the alphabet. If not specified, equal probabilities are used. |
Details
Each sequence is generated by choosing a set of random numbers (with min=1 and max=length of the alphabet) using the runif function. When the probability distribution is not specified, the uniform probability distribution giving same probability to each state is used to generate the sequences.
Value
a sequence object.
