Generate a random pedigree by applying random mating starting from a finite
population. The resulting pedigree will have f + g members, where f is
the number of founders and g is the number of matings.
randomPed(g, founders = rpois(1, 3) + 1, selfing = FALSE, seed = NULL)A positive integer: The number of matings.
A positive integer: The size of the initial population.
A logical indicating if selfing is allowed.
A numerical seed for random number generation. (Optional.)
A ped object.
The sampling scheme for choosing parents in each mating depends on the
selfing parameter. If selfing = FALSE, a father is randomly sampled from
the existing males, and a mother from the existing females. If selfing = TRUE then one parent P1 is sampled first (among all members), and then a
second parent from the set consisting of P1 and all members of the opposite
sex. The gender of the child is randomly chosen with equal probabilities.
