In DNAprofiles: DNA Profiling Evidence Analysis

#' Methods for studying forensic DNA profiles, in particular familial databases searches.
#' 
#' Main feautures include sampling of DNA profiles/databases as well as relatives of profiles, database comparison exercises, likelihood ratio computations and there are/will be methods to efficiently evaluate the distribution of likelihood ratios.
