simPedHS

Simulates a pedigree for a half-sib mating design (sometimes also called the
North Carolina Design 1).

Constructs (non)additive genetic relationship matrices, and their
inverses, from a pedigree to be used in linear mixed effect models (A.K.A.
the 'animal model'). Also includes other functions to facilitate the use of
animal models. Some functions have been created to be used in conjunction
with the R package 'asreml' for the 'ASReml' software, which can be
obtained upon purchase from 'VSN' international
(<https://vsni.co.uk/software/asreml>).
