Calculate Empirical Age Density

Description

Calculates empirical age density distributions for different subgroups in the data, separated by sex and genetic testing status.

Usage

calculateEmpiricalDensity(
  data,
  aff_column = "aff",
  age_column = "age",
  sex_column = "sex",
  geno_column = "geno",
  n_points = 10000,
  sex_specific = TRUE
)

Arguments

data	A data frame containing the family data
aff_column	Name of the affection status column
age_column	Name of the age column
sex_column	Name of the sex column
geno_column	Name of the genotype column
n_points	Number of points to use in density estimation
sex_specific	Logical; whether to calculate sex-specific densities

Value

A list of density objects for different subgroups (tested/untested, male/female)
