PFST(1) 		      pFst (VCF statistics)			 PFST(1)

NAME
     pFst

SYNOPSIS
     pFst  -target 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 -background 11,12,13,16,17,19,22 -file my.vcf
     -deltaaf 0.1 -type PL

DESCRIPTION
     pFst is a probabilistic approach for detecting differences in  allele  fre-
     quencies between two populations.

OPTIONS
	    **pFst** is a likelihood ratio test (LRT) quantifying allele frequency
	    differences between populations.  The LRT by default uses the binomial
	    distribution.  If Genotype likelihoods are provided it uses a modified
	    binomial that weights each allele count by its certainty.  If type is
	    set to 'PO' the LRT uses a beta distribution to fit the allele
	    frequency spectrum of the target and background.  PO requires the AD
	    and DP genotype fields and requires at least two pools for the target
	    and background.  The p-value calculated in **pFst** is based on the
	    chi-squared distribution with one degree of freedom.

	    Output : 3 columns :
		 1. seqid
		 2. position
		 3. **pFst** probability

	    required: t,target	   -- argument: a zero based comma separated list of target individuals corresponding to VCF columns
	    required: b,background -- argument: a zero based comma separated list of background individuals corresponding to VCF columns
	    required: f,file	   -- argument: a properly formatted VCF.
	    required: y,type	   -- argument: genotype likelihood format ; genotypes: GP, GL or PL; pooled: PO
	    optional: d,deltaaf    -- argument: skip sites where the difference in allele frequencies is less than deltaaf, default is zero
	    optional: r,region	   -- argument: a tabix compliant genomic range : seqid or seqid:start-end
	    optional: c,counts	   -- switch  : use genotype counts rather than genotype likelihoods to estimate parameters, default false

	    Type: statistics
