kindepth: Compute the depth of each subject in a pedigree

In SaraMonts/kinship2_modified: Pedigree Functions. Modification of kinship2 package

Description

Mark each person as to their depth in a pedigree; 0 for a founder, otherwise depth = 1 + max(father's depth, mother's depth)

Usage

kindepth(id, dad.id, mom.id, align = FALSE)

Arguments

id	Identification code for each individual
dad.id	Id code for the father
mom.id	Id code for the mother
align	If align=T, go one step further and try to make both parents of each child have the same depth. (This is not always possible). It helps the drawing program by lining up pedigrees that "join in the middle" via a marriage.

Details

In the case of an inbred pedigree a perfect alignment obeying extra=TRUE may not exist.

Value

an integer vector containing the depth for each subject
