Details

Each component of the list z is a list encoding a particular type of additional finding: the first component of this (sub-)list being a character string specifying the type of finding, and the remainder of its components being named parameters giving details of the finding. The types of finding and the valid parameters of each are as follows:

Male: ind: index of relevant contributor: which `unknown' contributor are we modelling by amending his CPTs?
Female: ind: index of relevant contributor
Rlikd: aca: allele count array, cgt: character string naming genotype profile data frame, evid: character string naming list with one component for each marker, whose value is the evidence
Aca: ind: index of relevant contributor, aca: allele count array
Caca: ind: index of relevant contributor, aca: allele count array
Denom: no parameters

If z is NULL, then there are no additional findings.
