NEWS file for the kinship2 package

Changes in version 1.8.0

• Make all functions extracted into R/, no longer from noweb files

• All documentation from pedigree.shrink.Rnw moved into Rd and R files

Changes in version 1.8.0

• legendPlot: added function to make a plot with a legend at the bottom, which is a separate sibship, whose parents are plotted over by the pedigree of interest.

• update documentation (Rd and vignette) on specifying relation matrix in pedigreeList objects.

• vignette now written in Rmd, will convert to html

Changes in version 1.7.2

• fixParents: added new function to add parents when they don't exist, but listed in momid/dadid, or fixes gender of them if it is wrong in the parent id row. Returns a valid pedigree object. Suggested by Tomos Potter.

• adding plot tests to tests suite: test.plot.pedigree.R

Changes in version 1.7.0

• plot.pedigree: fixed kindepth problem when there are many multiple marriages

• plot.pedigree: fixed bug when affection status is only NA and 1

• pedigree.legend: fixed for when radius not given, and when only one affection status

Changes in version 1.6.6

• plot.pedigree: if no subjects in a generation, don't try to plot. This is making plot work for an error that exists in aligning

Changes in version 1.6.3

• Change factors to character in pedigree

• Fix kinship for all unrelateds to not iterate 1:0

Changes in version 1.5.8

• For some complex non-human pedigrees, multiple sires for a female cause errors in autohint. For these cases, we put a try-catch around the call to autohint and supress error messages, allowing the plot to proceed with ped$hints=1:nrow(ped), and thus drawing lots of lines

• Add dim.pedigree method, which allows nrow to work as well. It returns the number of subjects in the pedigree

• Add pconnect arg for plot.pedigree to give flexibility to plot children directly under their parents, or loosen this restriction

Changes in version 1.5.6

• Bug found in pedigree.shrink when character ids used and stringsAsFactors set to TRUE. Fix: when making data.frame()s in findUnavail and findAvalNonInform, add stringsAsFactors=FALSE

• Add pconnect option to plot.pedigree. This gives more control over the lines from parent to child.

Changes in version 1.5.4

• bug introduced in kinship.pedigree in making other updates in version 1.5.0: if(duplicated(id)) set back to be if(duplicated(id$id))

• vignette added to vignettes directory, no more need for inst/doc dir in source version

Changes in version 1.5.0

• kinship function allows chrtype="X" for X chromosome kinship matrices, will have NA for any relationships that include a subject with sex code 3 or 4

• add test script for X-chromosome kinship matrix, with and without unknown sex codes

• plot.pedigree: fixed indexing bug in dog pedigree for sire in multiple generations

• pedigree.shrink and pedigree.trim now properly update indices in relation matrix after subjects are removed

Changes in version 1.3.8

• When subscripting a pedigreeList object, the relationship matrix was not properly computed.

Changes in version 1.3.7

• Add monzygotic twins computation to the kinship matrix

• Add a test for the new monozygote kinship code

• Add the ibdMatrix function

Changes in version 1.3.5

• Add the ibdMatrix routine, a replacement for bdsmatrix.ibd.

• The dimnames of a kinship matrix were in the wrong order if a. it was created from a pedigreeList and b. the original data set that created the pedigreeList was not sorted by family blocks (all of one family, then all of the next, ...). Pointed out by Claus Thorn Ekstrom.

Changes in version 1.3.4

• The dimnames on kinship matrices had both row and column names some instances, only column names in others. Changed to always return both.

Changes in version 1.3.3

• Per a query from Alex Cunningham, checked the return list of x,y values from plot.pedigree. Indeed, they were not in a useful order (to the user). Updated them to be in the same order as the input data, and added more information to the help page.

• Took some families out of minnbreast that did not belong

• Compress example data files

Changes in version 1.3.0

• Added a Minnesota Breast Cancer dataset

• Add missid as a code for the parents of founder subjects if the code is not one of the defaults (0 or NA for numeric ids, "" or NA for character)

• Fixed some findex/mindex problems in findUnavailable and excludeUnavailFounders, both used within pedigree.shrink.

• Updated plot.pedigree.shrink to plot available subjects as red, and included a simple legend to indicate availability coloring. A new parameter, xlegend, can now control the placing of the legend.

• Fixed a minor indexing bug in "[.pedigree"

• Fixed typing and grammatical problems in error messages in pedigree()

• Fixed row/column names in kinship function (Shannon/Terry, please give more details)

• Allow pedigree.trim to trim all subjects and return an empty pedigree object

• pedigree.legend to show which portions of a subject's plot symbol indicate which affection status

• aligning of pedigrees now more robust to handle subjects in multiple marriages
