A function to create strumData object.

1	createStrumData(inData, dType, ibdFileName=NULL, fileType="SAGE")

`inData`	Object of class `data.frame` containing input data.
`dType`	Character stating the type of input data, `"Pedigree"` or `"RawData"`
`ibdFileName`	Character stating the name of ibd file to import.
`fileType`	Character stating the type of ibd file, the deafult value is "SAGE".

This function is used to create a strumData class object for strum analysis. The value of inData has to be a data.frame. The allowed values for dType is either "Pedigree" or "RawData". Note that, if dType="Pedigree", the data must be a data.frame with 4 required fields - family, id, father, mother.

Returns an object of class strumData.
