Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Relatedness using EM Algorithm

Description

Inference of relatedness coefficients from a bi-allelic genotype matrix using a Maximum Likelihood estimation, Laporte, F., Charcosset, A. and Mary-Huard, T. (2017) <doi:10.1111/biom.12634>.

Details

This package infers the relatedness distribution coefficients for all couple of individuals in a set from their genotype, provided in a bi-allelic genotype matrix. The main function is 'RelCoef' which infers those coefficients. The arguments of this function are a genotype matrix for individuals and an frequency matrix that displays the allelic frequency at each marker in each population. Alternatively, a parental genotype matrix and a crossing matrix can be used. Additional information about structure membership can also be provided via a ParentPop vector (for more details see the help of 'RelCoef'). The main matrix is writen with C language, make sure you can use this code.
