#' fbnet: Forensic Bayesian Networks
#'
#' 'fbnet' is an open source software package written in R statistical languaje.
#' It relies on a Bayesian Networks framework \doi{10.1017/CBO9780511811357}. It is particularly well suited
#' to efficiently perform large-size queries against databases of missing individuals.
#' It could interact with the main functionallities of other packages for pedigree analysis. 
#' In particular, 'fbnet' imports the 'Familias' software
#' \doi{10.1016/S0379-0738(00)00147-X}. In addition 'pedtools', a software for creating 
#' and manipulating pedigrees and markers, is supported. 'fbnet' allows computing LRs
#' and obtaining genotype probability distributions for query individual, based on 
#' the pedigree data.
#' 'fbnet' implements the complete GENis functionality, a recently published open-source 
#' multi-tier information system developed to run forensic DNA databases  
#' to perform kinship analysis based on DNA profiles \doi{10.1016/j.fsir.2020.100132}.
