mixsep-package: Forensic Genetics DNA Mixture Separation

Description

Separates DNA mixtures using a statistical model within a greedy algorithm. The use of the package is controlled by an user friendly GUI (Graphical User Interface). The implementation is able to separate two- and three-person DNA mixtures and provide diagnostic plots and parameter values.

After the package is loaded by library(mixsep) the GUI is started by writing mixsep() in the R prompt. However, on Windows operating systems it is recommended to use the makeShortcut()-function for easy and fast execution of the user interface.
