Thanks for all response. Here is more closer to my question,
p<-0.05
f<-0.05
ld<-sqrt(f* (1 - f) * p * (1 - p))
D <- (p * (1 - f) - ld)/p
d <- ((1 - p) * f - ld)/(1 - p)
haplo<-data.frame(D,d)
> haplo
D d
1 -1.387779e-16 -7.304099e-18
cond1<-pmin(haplo[,1],haplo[,2])
haplo[cond1>=0,]
But the program cannot get right one, because
-1.387779e-16>=0 is FALSE
-7.304099e-18>=0 is FALSE
Thank you!
xj.
