tabfreq constructor

Description

Constructor for tabfreq objects.
The function tabfreq creates a tabfreq object from a data frame or a matrix giving allele frequencies for a single population in the Journal of Forensic Sciences (JFS) format for population genetic data. Whene multiple populations are considered, data shall be given as a list, where each element is either a matrix or a data frame in the JFS format, and the populations names must be specified.

The function as.tabfreq is an alias for the tabfreq function.

is.tabfreq tests if an object is a valid tabfreq object.
