andersgs/microsimr: Simulate microsatellite data using Hudson's ms program

microsimr provides functions for simulating microsatellite data under a coalescent using Hudson's ms program. The user is able to analyze the simulated data directly within R. There is also the option of outputting the simulated data in a format suitable for Migrate-N. Functions to output simulated data in other formats can be added upon request (e.g., IMa2 or LAMARC). Currently, microsimr only simulates microsatellite data under a symmetrical strict stepwise mutation model, and a two-phase mutation model with symmetrical geometric distribution. Other mutation models can be considered if there is interest.
