Rstud: R interface for studbooks

Rstud is a package of R functions for reading, analyzing, graphing, editing, and saving studbook-style data in a variety of formats.

Status

The Rstud package is currently in development and should be considered provisional at this time. Current tasks are focused on editing an old code block for working as a clean R package.

File-Type Support

Rstud is currently coded to read from and write to PopLink-style SQL studbooks. Future versions will incorporate additional input file types.

R Installation

Install the devtools package and then run:

install_github("DAPPERstats/Rstud")

Author, Development, and Support History

The original Rstud code was written during 2013 - 2015 by J. L. Simonis while working as a Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Scientist at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, IL. The code base was developed primarily to facilitate pedigree-based inbreeding analyses from studbooks, but was expanded to address other analyses of populations tracked in studbooks. The current Rstud code and package are being written by J. L. Simonis while working as a Freelance Scientist for DAPPER Stats.
