Value

A data.frame with id, dadid, momid, sex as columns

Arguments

id

Identification variable for individual

dadid

Identification variable for father. Founders parents should be coded to NA, or another value specified by missid.

momid

Identification variable for mother. Founders parents should be coded to NA, or another value specified by missid.

sex

Gender of individual noted in `id`. Either character ("male","female","unknown","terminated") or numeric (1="male", 2="female", 3="unknown", 4="terminated") data is allowed. For character data the string may be truncated, and of arbitrary case.
