makefamid

Create a vector of length n, giving the family "tree" number of
 each subject. If the pedigree is totally connected, then everyone will
 end up in tree 1, otherwise the tree numbers represent the disconnected
 subfamilies. Singleton subjects give a zero for family number.

 genetics

Routines to handle family data with a pedigree object. The initial purpose
was to create correlation structures that describe family relationships such
as kinship and identity-by-descent, which can be used to model family data
in mixed effects models, such as in the coxme function. Also includes a tool
for pedigree drawing which is focused on producing compact layouts without
intervention. Recent additions include utilities to trim the pedigree object
with various criteria, and kinship for the X chromosome.
