In DNAtools: Tools for Analysing Forensic Genetic DNA Data

#' Tools for analysing forensic genetic DNA databases
#' 
#' Computational efficient tools for comparing all pairs of profiles in a DNA
#' database. The expectation and covariance of the summary statistic is
#' implemented for fast computing. Routines for estimating proportions of close
#' related individuals are available. The use of wildcards (also called
#' F-designation) is implemented. Dedicated functions ease plotting the
#' results.

#' Compares make all n(n-1)/2 pairwise comparisons between profiles of a
#' database with n DNA profiles. dbExpect: Computes the expected number of
#' matching and partial matching loci for a given number of profiles in a
#' database. dbVariance: Calculates the associated covariance matrix.
