Create a pedigree object

1	pedigree(lineNames, mother, father, selfing, warnImproperFunnels = TRUE)

`lineNames`	The names of the genetic lines
`mother`	The index of the maternal line
`father`	The index of the paternal line
`selfing`	Should the number of generations of selfing be taken from the pedigree (`"finite"`), or should selfing be assumed to be infinite (`"infinite"`)?
`warnImproperFunnels`	Should a warning be generated in subsequent computations using this pedigree, if there are lines which do not contain all founding lines as ancestors?

This function creates a pedigree object from parts. All lines are assumed to have an index, starting at 1 for the first line. Values at index of the various inputs 1 all relate to the first line, values at index 2 all relate to the second line, etc.

Input lineNames assigns a name to every line. Input mother gives the index of a mother line, where a value of 0 indicates that a line is a founder of the population (and therefore inbred). Input father gives the index of a father line, where a value of 0 indicates that a line is a founder of the population (and therefore inbred). Input selfing must be "finite" or "infinite". A value of infinite means that the number of generations of selfing for this pedigree will be assumed to be infinite. A value of "finite" means that the number of generations of selfing will be computed from the pedigree, for every line.

An object of class pedigree representing the inputs.
