## Class "snp.dprime" for Results of LD calculation

### Description

The `snp.dprime` class encapsulates results returned by `ld.snp` (— routine to calculate D', $r^2$ and LOD of a `snp.matrix-class` object, given a range and a depth) and is based on a list of three named matrices.

The lower right triangle of the snp.dprime object returned by `ld.snp` always consists zeros. This is delibrate. The associated plotting routine would not normally access those elements either.

### Value

The `snp.dprime` class is a list of 3 named matrices `dprime`, `rsq2` or `r`, `lod`, and an attribute `snp.names` for the list of snps involved. (Note that if $x$ snps are involved, the row numbers of the 3 matrices are $(x-1)$). Only one of `r` or `rsq2` is present.

`dprime` | D'
`rsq2` | $r^2$
`r` | signed $r^2$
`lod` | Log of Odd's
`attr(*, class)` | "snp.dprime"
`attr(*, snp.names)` | character vectors of the snp names involved

All the matrices are defined such that the ($n, m$)th entry is the pair-wise value between the ($n$)th snp and the $(n+m)$th snp. Hence the lower right triangles are always filled with zeros.

Invalid values are represented by an out-of-range value - currently we use -1 for D', $r^2$ (both of which are between 0 and 1), and -2 for $r$ (valid values are between -1 and +1). lod is set to zero in most of these invalid cases. (lod can be any value so it is not indicative).

### Methods

See `plot.snp.dprime`.
