Details

FIXME - this will change a lot!!!! There is always one additional level in levels in case factors are used to represent individuals in a pedigree as described in Pedigree. However, nlevels.Pedigree prints out the number of levels actually used to represent individuals i.e. level unknown is not included into the result.
