Demerelate: calculating interindividual relatedness for kinship analysis based on codominant diploid genetic markers using R.

Abstract excerpt

The Demerelate package offers algorithms to calculate different interindividual relatedness measurements. Three different allele sharing indices, five pairwise weighted estimates of relatedness and four pairwise weighted estimates with sample size correction are implemented to analyse kinship structures within populations. Statistics are based on randomization tests; modelling relatedness coefficients by logistic...
