Documentation for SLiM function setMutationFractions, which is a method of the SLiM class GenomicElementType. 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.

setMutationFractions(mutationTypes, proportions)

Arguments

mutationTypes

An object of type integer or MutationType object. See details for description.

proportions

An object of type numeric. See details for description.

Value

An object of type void or void.

Details

Documentation for this function can be found in the official SLiM manual: page 678.

Set the mutation type fractions contributing to a genomic element type. The mutationTypes vector should supply the mutation types used by the genomic element (either as MutationType objects or as integer identifiers), and the proportions vector should be of equal length, specifying the relative proportion of mutations that will be drawn from each corresponding type (see section 1.5.4). This is normally a constant in simulations, so be sure you know what you are doing.
