Overview

About

Maintained by Peter GreenFirst published 2023-03-225 releasesCRAN page ↗

Methods for inference about/under complex relationships using peak height data from DNA mixtures: the most basic example would be testing whether a contributor to a mixture is the father of a child of known genotype. This provides most of the functionality of the 'KinMix' package, but with some loss of efficiency and restriction on problem size, as the latter uses 'RHugin' as the Bayes net engine, while this package uses 'gRain'. The package implements the methods introduced in Green, P. J. and Mortera, J. (2017) doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2017.02.001 and Green, P. J. and Mortera, J. (2021) doi:10.1111/rssc.12498.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("KinMixLite", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-kinmixlite

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-KinMixLite

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
