DESCRIPTION

Qstats does some basic statistics on a dataset of quantitative traits. It plots a histogram and calculates the sample size, mean, variance standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, and average deviation for a quantitative trait. The program also summarizes missing marker and trait data, as will as determining the marker types (dominant or codominant). Finally, Qstats will test whether markers are segregating at random. It requires a molecular map that could be a random one produced by Rmap, or a real one in the same format as the output of Rmap. The sample could be a randomly generated one from Rcross or a real one in the same format as the output of Rcross.
