Overview

About

An implementation of the Elston-Stewart algorithm for calculating pedigree likelihoods given genetic marker data (Elston and Stewart (1971) doi:10.1159/000152448). The standard algorithm is extended to allow inbred founders. 'pedprobr' is part of the 'pedsuite', a collection of packages for pedigree analysis in R. In particular, 'pedprobr' depends on 'pedtools' for pedigree manipulations and 'pedmut' for mutation modelling. For more information, see 'Pedigree Analysis in R' (Vigeland, 2021, ISBN:9780128244302).

Changes in 1.1.1
  • Allow theta = 0 in functions that do not support theta correction.
  • lumpAlleles() gains an argument observed for alleles that should not be lumped.
  • Fix ordering in oneMarkerDistribution() when target individuals are interleaved across pedigree components.
