pedIBD: Calculates the Pedigree-based Kinship Matrix
Description
Calculates the pedigree based probability of alleles to be IBD. This pedigree based kinship matrix is also called coancestry matrix and is half the additive relationship matrix.
Data frame containing the pedigree with Indiv (individual ID), Sire, and Dam in the first 3 columns.
Missing parents are coded as NA. Both parents must either be missing or present. If this is not the case use function prePed to prepare the pedigree.
keep
If keep is provided then kinships are computed only for these animals and their ancestors.
keep.only
If keep.only is provided then kinships are computed only for these animals.
kinFounder
Kinship matrix for the founders. The row names are the ids of the founders. By default, founders are assumed to be unrelated. Founders not included in this matrix are also assumed to be unrelated.

Computation of pedigree based kinship matrix f which is half the additive relationship matrix. For individuals i and j it is defined as
fij = Probability that two alleles chosen from individuals i and j are IBD.
