Recursive algorithms for computing various relatedness
coefficients, including pairwise kinship, kappa and identity
coefficients. Both autosomal and X-linked coefficients are computed.
Founders are allowed to be inbred, which enables construction of any
given kappa coefficients, as described in Vigeland (2020)
<doi:10.1007/s00285-020-01505-x>. In addition to the standard
coefficients, 'ribd' also computes a range of lesser-known
coefficients, including generalised kinship coefficients (Karigl
(1981) <doi:10.1111/j.1469-1809.1981.tb00341.x>; Weeks and Lange
(1988) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1715269>),
two-locus coefficients (Thompson (1988) <doi:10.1093/imammb/5.4.261>)
and multi-person coefficients. This package is part of the 'ped
suite', a collection of packages for pedigree analysis in R. Several
methods of 'ribd' are featured in the online app 'QuickPed' available
at <https://magnusdv.shinyapps.io/quickped>. See Vigeland (2022)
