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. 'forrel' is part of
the 'pedsuite', a collection of packages for pedigree analysis,
further described in the book 'Pedigree Analysis in R' (Vigeland,
2021, ISBN:9780128244302). Several functions deal specifically with
power analysis in missing person cases, implementing methods described
in Vigeland et al. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.fsigen.2020.102376>. Data
import from the 'Familias' software (Egeland et al. (2000)
<doi:10.1016/S0379-0738(00)00147-X>) is supported through the
'pedFamilias' package.
