Arguments

`ped`	A dataframe containing the pedigree. Individual (id), maternal (dam), and paternal (sire) identities are mandatory columns.
`reference`	A string naming a column indicating whether individuals belong to the reference population or not. Column must be boolean or coercible to boolean type.
`rp_idx`	Vector containing the indexes of individuals of the RP
`nboot`	Number of bootstrap iterations (for computing Ng).
`seed`	Sets a seed for the random number generator.
`skip_Ng`	Skip Ng computation or not (FALSE by default).
