rBahadur: efficient simulation of structured high-dimensional genotype data with applications to assortative mating

Abstract Existing methods for generating synthetic genotype data are ill-suited for replicating the effects of assortative mating (AM). We propose rb_dplr, a novel and computationally efficient algorithm for generating high-dimensional binary random variates that effectively recapitulates AM-induced...
