Estimation of Jacquard's Genetic Identity Coefficients
Description
Contains procedures to estimate the nine condensed Jacquard genetic identity coefficients
(Jacquard, 1974) by constrained least squares
(Graffelman et al., 2024) and by the method of moments
(Csuros, 2014) . These procedures require previous estimation of the
allele frequencies. Functions are supplied that estimate relationship parameters that derive from the Jacquard
coefficients, such as individual inbreeding coefficients and kinship coefficients.
