calculate_cov: Calculate covariance matrix of liabilities
In FireGutter/geneference: Simulating and analysing genes with LT-FH

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Compute a sample covariance matrix from "phenotypes.txt" as generated by simulation functions.

1	calculate_cov(pheno, sibs)

`pheno`	dataset with phenotypes, as loaded by `load_phenotypes()`.
`sibs`	optional: number of siblings to be included in covariance matrix. Defaults to using all of an individual's siblings.

The outputted matrix follows the order described in vignette("liability-distribution").The output can be used to validate that covariances between the liabilities of family members are as expected.
The sibs parameter can be used to adjust how many siblings to calculate the covariance between.

A covariance matrix using the data from pheno.
