R package pedSimulate: Pedigree, genetic merit and phenotype simulation

Version: 0.0.3

Version: 0.0.4

• Applying mortality to each generation separately rather than on selection candidates, which may come from more than a single generation.

Version: 0.1.1

• Added function assortative for assortative/disassortative mating.
• Added "-P" and "-PA" to arguments fsel and msel to select in opposite directions of "P" (phenotype) and "PA" (parent average).

Version: 0.1.2

• Debugged the bug introduced in the previous version in the simulatePed function.

Version: 1.0.0

• Major revision
• Functions simulatePed and assortative were combined into simulatePed, and arguments fullsib and parentprogeny were removed.
• Added function appendPed for simulating new generations from an existing pedigree and appending to it.
• Added function fs_mate_finder for finding fullsib matings in the pedigree.
• Added function hs_mate_finder for finding halfsib matings in the pedigree.
• Added function pp_mate_finder for finding parent-progeny matings in the pedigree.

Version: 1.0.1

• Made a small debug.

Version: 1.1.0

• Added agrumnts f.order and m.order to simulatePed and appendPed functions.

Version: 1.1.1

• Debugged for sampling from a sample size of 1.

Version: 1.2.0

• Added function simulateGen for simulating genotypes.

Version: 1.2.1

• Fixed a small bug in hs_mate_finder.

Version: 1.3.0

• A major debug: %in% (-overlap.s:0)+i-1 was performing differently from %in% ((-overlap.s:0)+i-1), similarly %in% (-overlap.d:0)+i-1 and %in% ((-overlap.d:0)+i-1).
• Added function appendGen for simulating genotypes for an appended pedigree to an existing pedigree with genotypes.

Version: 1.3.1

• A small (same) debug in simulatePed and appendPed.

Version: 1.3.2

• Added seed argument to functions for reproducible outputs.

Version: 1.4.0

• Debugged function appendPed for making no updates to the existing pedigree (the pedigree upon which new generations are appended).
• “Bijma, P. & Rutten, M. (2002)” gone missing on the web. References were added.

Version: 1.4.1

• Fixed the naming issue pedSimulte-package in the documentation.

Version: 1.4.3

• man/pedSimulte-package.Rd was missing in the previous version.
