Documentation for SLiM function drawSelectionCoefficient, which is a method of the SLiM class MutationType. Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring up this documentation). It will only do anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further nested in a slim_script function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a full SLiM script.

drawSelectionCoefficient(n)

Arguments

n

An object of type integer. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). The default value is 1. See details for description.

Value

An object of type float or void.

Details

Documentation for this function can be found in the official SLiM manual: page 709.

Draws and returns a vector of n selection coefficients using the currently defined distribution of fitness effects (DFE) for the target mutation type. See section 25.11 above for discussion of the supported distributions and their uses. If the DFE is type "s", this method will result in synchronous execution of the DFE's script.
