GENDER Statement
- GENDER variable ;
The GENDER statement specifies a variable
that indicates the sex of the individuals.
Values of the sex variable must be
character beginning with `M' or `F', for male or female.
The GENDER statement is needed only
when you specify the AVERAGE
option to average the
inbreeding/covariance coefficients within sex categories or when
you want to include a gender variable in the
OUTCOV= data set.
PROC INBREED makes the following assumptions
regarding the gender of individuals:
- The first parent is always assumed to be the male.
See the "VAR Statement" section.
- The second parent is always assumed to be the female.
See the "VAR Statement" section.
- If the gender of an individual is missing or invalid,
this individual is assumed to be a female
unless the population is overlapping
and this individual appears as the first parent
in a later observation.
Any contradictions to these rules are reported in the SAS log.
