What to provide as --init_file? #7

Closed privefl closed 2 years ago

privefl commented 2 years ago

Sorry, but I do not understand what to provide as --init_file. Can you explain to me please?

On common runs, the --init_file argument is basically used to store the PCA object used in the initialization step, in order to save compute time in case the program is run several times. If you do not specify it, the --name argument will be used to generate this file.

On "pre-trained" runs, this argument is used to specify the path of the .P file containing the frequency matrix F/P, as generated by ADMIXTURE.
