fbnet: Forensic Bayesian Networks
Description
'fbnet' is an open source software package written in R statistical languaje. It relies on a Bayesian Networks framework doi: 10.1017/CBO9780511811357. It is particularly well suited to efficiently perform large-size queries against databases of missing individuals. It could interact with the main functionallities of other packages for pedigree analysis. In particular, 'fbnet' imports the 'Familias' software doi: 10.1016/S0379-0738(00)00147-X. In addition 'pedtools', a software for creating and manipulating pedigrees and markers, is supported. 'fbnet' allows computing LRs and obtaining genotype probability distributions for query individual, based on the pedigree data. 'fbnet' implements the complete GENis functionality, a recently published open-source multi-tier information system developed to run forensic DNA databases to perform kinship analysis based on DNA profiles doi: 10.1016/j.fsir.2020.100132.
