In magnusdv/pedbuildr: Pedigree Reconstruction

pedbuildr 0.3.0

New features

• New S3 class pedCollection with for output of buildPeds(), with separate print(), plot() and subsetting methods

• buildPeds() has a new argument maxInbreeding indicating the highest tolerated inbreeding coefficient in the constructed pedigrees. The default value is set to 1/16 (as in children of first-cousin parents), which is appropriate for typical applications in human pedigrees. Set to 0 to disallow inbreeding completely, or to 1 to allow any inbreeding.

• New dataset Tutankhamun based on the pedigree and genotype data published by Hawass et al. Ancestry and pathology in King Tutankhamun's family. Jama (2010).

• General overhaul of code and organisation; the main functions run significantly faster now.
