What does that mean? Error messages?

Its over 1 Gig. Any ideas on how I can store this
large amount of data? Should I use a list or a matrix?

How about an array?

rmultinom() with HWE expectations



I'm also unsure of what the 2x3 table is (what are the rows?), and David gave you a good answer for how to make tabular data, but I just thought I'd
add some info for those who may be interested...

If you want to make genotype data in the form of minor allele counts under
HW, you can use rbinom() with size=2 and prob=MAF.

Suppose variable "n" is the number of subjects for whom data is to be
generated, "maf" is a vector of minor allele frequencies, and "m" is the length of maf (i.e., the number of markers to be generated. Then this will
produce a data matrix (subjects by markers):

maf <- c( .1, .2, .5 )
n <- 7
m <- length( maf )
t( matrix( rbinom( n*m, 2, maf ), m, n ) )

   [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    0    0    2
[2,]    0    1    1
[3,]    1    0    2
[4,]    0    2    1
[5,]    1    1    1
[6,]    0    1    2
[7,]    0    0    1

Of course, when data are produced that way, the markers are in linkage equilibrium (an unfortunate term meaning that the genotypes for pairs of
markers are not associated).
