## Gene and gamete flow matrices

### Description

`geneFlowT` and `geneFlowTinv` creates gene flow matrix (T) and its inverse (Tinv), while `gameteFlowM` creates gamete flow matrix (M). `mendelianSamplingD` creates a mendelian sampling covariance matrix (D).

### Usage

    geneFlowT(x, sort=TRUE, names=TRUE, ...)
    geneFlowTinv(x, sort=TRUE, names=TRUE, ...)
    gameteFlowM(x, sort=TRUE, names=TRUE, ...)
    mendelianSamplingD(x, matrix=TRUE, names=TRUE, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | Pedigree
`sort` | logical, for the computation the pedigree needs to be sorted, but results are sorted back to original sorting (sort=TRUE) or not (sort=FALSE)
`names` | logical, should returned matrix have row/colnames; this can be used to get leaner matrix
`matrix` | logical, should returned value be a diagonal matrix or a vector
`...` | arguments for other methods

### Details

`geneFlowT` returns a matrix with coefficients that show the flow of genes from one generation to the next one etc. `geneFlowTinv` is simply the inverse of `geneFlowT`, but calculated as I - M, where M is gamete flow matrix with coefficients that represent parent gamete contribution to their offspring. `mendelianSamplingD` is another matrix (D) for construction of relationship additive matrix via decomposition i.e. A=TDT' (Henderson, 1976). Mrode (2005) has a very nice introduction to these concepts.

Take care with `sort=FALSE, names=FALSE`. It is your own responsibility to assure proper handling in this case.

### Value

Matrices of n * n dimension, with coeficients as described in the details, where n is number of subjects in `x`
