getBranchQuant

Returns a data frame containing the names of all children of an individual of interest ("Name"). The mean and standard deviation ("Mean" and "SD") of a quantitative variable across all descendents of each child is reported. In addition, for each child, the number of its descendants is reported ("Count"), the number of its descendants who do not have a value for the quantitative variable ("NACount") is reported, and the names of all of its descendants is reported ("DesNames").

Methods for searching through genealogical data and displaying the results. Plotting algorithms assist with data exploration and publication-quality image generation. Includes interactive genealogy visualization tools. Provides parsing and calculation methods for variables in descendant branches of interest. Uses the Grammar of Graphics.
