simLR: Likelihood for mixtures that may have related contributors and drop-in and drop-out of alleles

Description

Likelihood for mixtures that may have related contributors and drop-in and drop-out of alleles. For a general description of the problem, see see paraMix. As opposed to paraMix, drop-in and drop-out of alleles are allowed. The likelihood is based on simulations from an urn model. Possible mixtures are simulated by applying drop-in and drop-out to genotypes for the assumed contributors. Genotypes for unknown contributors are simulated conditioned on the pedigree.

Usage

simLR(R, x, alleles, afreq, pDO, pDI, N, known_genotypes = NULL, 
ped = NULL, id.U = NULL, id.V = NULL)

Arguments

R

Integers, mixture

x

Number of unknown contributors

alleles

Integers indicating alleles for marker

afreq

A numerical vector with allele frequencies

pDO

Probability of drop-out applied per allele

pDI

Probability of drop-in per locus

N

Number of simulations

known_genotypes

List of known genotypes. If a pedigree is specified, each element must a triplet of integers corresponding to (id,allele1,allele2). If no pedigree is specified, the id can be omitted.

ped

linkdat object, or a list of such (if disconnected), describing the claimed relationship.

id.U

Integers indicating untyped contributors (e.g.,suspect(s)). Only relevant if a pedigree is specified.

id.V

Integers indicating typed non-contributors. Only relevant if a pedigree is specified.

Value

• p.R: the likelihood of the mixture R
