forrel: Forensic Pedigree Analysis and Relatedness Inference
Forensic applications of pedigree analysis, including
likelihood ratios for relationship testing, general relatedness
inference, marker simulation, and power analysis. General computation
of exclusion powers is based on Egeland et al. (2014)
<doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2013.05.001>. Several functions deal
specifically with family reunion cases, implementing and developing
ideas from Kling et al. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2017.08.006>. A
novelty of 'forrel' is the ability to model background inbreeding in
forensic pedigree computations. This can have significant impact in
applications, as exemplified in Vigeland and Egeland (2019)
<doi:10.1016/j.fsigss.2019.10.175>. 'forrel' is part of the ped suite,
a collection of packages for pedigree analysis. In particular,
'forrel' imports 'pedtools' for creating and manipulating pedigrees
and markers, 'pedprobr' for likelihood computations, and 'pedmut' for
mutation modelling. Pedigree data may be created from scratch, or
loaded from text files. Data import from the 'Familias' software
(Egeland et al. (2000) <doi:10.1016/S0379-0738(00)00147-X>) is
supported.
