rfmix_reader.Chunk

class rfmix_reader.Chunk(nsamples=1024, nloci=1024)

Chunk specification for a contiguous submatrix of the haplotype matrix.

Parameters:

• nsamples (Optional[int], default=1024) – Number of samples in a single chunk, limited by the total number of samples. Set to None to include all samples.

• nloci (Optional[int], default=1024) – Number of loci in a single chunk, limited by the total number of loci. Set to None to include all loci.

Notes

• Small chunks may increase computational time, while large chunks may increase memory usage.

• For small datasets, try setting both nsamples and nloci to None.

• For large datasets where you need to use every sample, try setting nsamples=None and choose a small value for nloci.
