HiLMM (version 1.1)

HiLMM-package: Estimation of heritability in linear mixed models

Description

The package contains two functions: estim_herit computes heritability when the random effects follow either a Gaussian distribution or a mixture of a Dirac and a Gaussian distribution. It also provides a confidence interval of heritability when the random effects are Gaussian. The function data_simu allows the user to generate dataset which are compatible wit the arguments of HiLMM.
