This function organizes higher-level information for creating variants from the population-scaled mutation rate and a desired number of variants.

vars_theta(theta, n_vars)

Arguments

theta

Population-scaled mutation rate.

n_vars

Number of desired variants.

Value

A vars_theta_info object containing information used in create_variants to create haploid variants. This class is just a wrapper around a list containing the phylogenetic tree and theta parameter, which you can view (but not change) using the object's phylo() and theta() methods, respectively.
