calculateMindist {MinimumDistance} | R Documentation

## Deprecated function to calculate the minimum distance

### Description

The 'minimum distance' is the minimum signed absolute difference of the parental log R ratios and the offspring log R ratios. Specifically, let |O-F| denote the absolute difference in the log R ratios comparing offspring to father and |O-M| the absolute difference in the log R ratios comparing offspring to mother. The minimum distance at a marker is the signed minimum of |O-M| and |O-F|. After segmentation of the minimum distance, non-zero segments can indicate a de novo difference in the log R ratio of the offspring and either parent. For example, a positive minimum distance suggests that the log R ratio from the offspring is greater than the log R ratio of either parent.
