摘要: Analyses of pedigrees and pedigree-derived parameters (e.g. relatedness fitness) provide some the most informative types studies in evolutionary biology. The r package pedantics implements tools to facilitate power sensitivity analyses pedigree-related natural populations. Functions are available permute pedigree data various ways with goal mimicking patterns errors missingness that occur Another set functions simulates genetic phenotypic based on arbitrary pedigrees. Finally, also which visual numerical representations structure can be generated.
