Calculates the total number of alleles that are shared by two profiles. If
the two profiles in question are indeed relatives then the matching alleles
may be identical by descent, or by random chance alone, hence identity by
state.

A set of tools to explore the behaviour statistics used for forensic DNA interpretation when close relatives are involved. The package also offers some useful tools for exploring other forensic DNA situations.

IBS function

<dl><dt>prof1</dt>
<dd>A matrix consisting of 2 columns and nLoci rows. Each entry in
the matrix is the (coded) allele held by the individual.</dd>
<dt>prof2</dt>
<dd>See <code>prof1</code></dd>
<dt>nLoci</dt>
<dd>The number of loci in the profiles. Specifying this value
speeds up computation enormously.</dd>
<dt>bPrint</dt>
<dd>If true then the result is printed locus by locus. This
feature exists primarily for debugging purposes.</dd></dl>
