kin2deg

Converts a vector of kinship coefficients to "degrees of relationship", as
used by some software for relatedness inference (e.g. KING).

Recursive algorithms for computing various relatedness
coefficients, including pairwise kinship, kappa and identity
coefficients. Both autosomal and X-linked coefficients are computed.
Founders are allowed to be inbred, which enables construction of any
given kappa coefficients, as described in Vigeland (2020)
<doi:10.1007/s00285-020-01505-x>. In addition to the standard
coefficients, 'ribd' also computes a range of lesser-known
coefficients, including generalised kinship coefficients, multi-person
coefficients and two-locus coefficients (Vigeland, 2023,
<doi:10.1093/g3journal/jkac326>). Many features of 'ribd' are
available through the online app 'QuickPed' at

kin2deg function

<dl><dt>kin</dt>
<dd>A vector of kinship coefficients, i.e., numbers in <code>[0, 1]</code>.</dd>
<dt>unrelated</dt>
<dd>The conversion of unrelated individuals (<code>kin = 0</code>).
Mathematically this corresponds to <code>degree = Inf</code>, but in some situations
<code>degree = NA</code> or something else might be preferable.</dd></dl>
