In the formula, use <code>Q1</code>, <code>Q2</code>, etc., or <code>q1</code>, <code>q2</code>, etc., to represent the QTLs, and the column names in the covariate data frame to represent the covariates. </p> <p>We enforce a hierarchical structure on the model formula: if a QTL or covariate is in involved in an interaction, its main effect must also be included. </p> <p>If neither of the two new QTL are indicated in the <code>formula</code>, we perform a two-dimensional scan as in <code><a href="scantwo.html">scantwo</a></code>. That is, for each pair of QTL positions, we fit two models: two additive QTL added to the <code>formula</code>, and two interacting QTL added to the <code>formula</code>. </p> <p>If the both of the new QTL are indicated in the <code>formula</code>, that particular model is fit, with the positions of the new QTL allowed to vary across the genome. If just one of the QTL is indicated in the <code>formula</code>, a main effect for the other is added, and that particular model is fit, again with the positions of both QTL varying. Note that in this case the LOD scores are not analogous to those produced by <code><a href="scantwo.html">scantwo</a></code>. Thus, there slightly modified forms for the plots (produced by <code><a href="plot.scantwo.html">plot.scantwo</a></code>) and summaries (produced by <code><a href="summary.scantwo.html">summary.scantwo</a></code> and <code><a href="max.scantwo.html">max.scantwo</a></code>). In the plot, the x-axis is to be interpreted as the position of the first of the new QTL, and the y-axis is to be interpreted as the position of the second of the new QTL. In the summaries, we give the single best pair of positions on each pair of chromosomes, and give LOD scores comparing that pair of positions to the base model (without each of these QTL), and to the base model plus one additional QTL on one or the other of the chromosomes. </p> <h3>Value</h3> <p>An object of class <code>scantwo</code>, as produced by <code><a href="scantwo.html">scantwo</a></code>. </p> <p>If neither of the new QTL were indicated in the <code>formula</code>, the result is just as in <code><a href="scantwo.html">scantwo</a></code>, though with LOD scores relative to the base model (omitting the new QTL). </p> <p>Otherwise, the results are contained in what would ordinarily be in the full and additive LOD scores, with the additive LOD scores corresponding to the case that the first of the new QTL is to the left of the second of the new QTL, and the full LOD scores corresponding to the case that the first of the new QTL is to the right of the second of the new QTL. Because the structure of the LOD scores in this case is different from those output by <code><a href="scantwo.html">scantwo</a></code>, we include, in this case, an attribute <code>"addpair"=TRUE</code>. (We also require results of single-dimensional scans, omitting each of the two new QTL from the formula, one at a time; these are included as attributes <code>"lod.minus1"</code> and <code>"lod.minus2"</code>.) The results are then treated somewhat differently by <code><a href="summary.scantwo.html">summary.scantwo</a></code>, <code><a href="max.scantwo.html">max.scantwo</a></code>, and <code><a href="plot.scantwo.html">plot.scantwo</a></code>.
