pedprobr 0.7.0
This release introduces a number of minor improvements of the interaction with the external software MERLIN used for analysis of linked markers (https://csg.sph.umich.edu/abecasis/merlin/index.html).
New features
-
merlin()gains argumentcheckpath, which can be set this to FALSE to avoid redundant checks of MERLIN availability. -
likelihoodMerlin()gains argumentperChrom, used to parse the chromosome-wise likelihoods from the MERLIN output. -
lumpAlleles()gains argumentalways. By default lumping is skipped for markers where all individuals are genotyped, but this can cause problems e.g. with MERLIN which operates with an upper limit of allleles. -
Some efforts are done to check for (and warn about) underflow/overflow in MERLIN results.
