Description: NOTE: 'PARAMLINK' HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE 'PEDSUITE'
        PACKAGES (<https://magnusdv.github.io/pedsuite/>). 'PARAMLINK'
        IS MAINTAINED ONLY FOR LEGACY PURPOSES AND SHOULD NOT BE USED
        IN NEW PROJECTS. A suite of tools for analysing pedigrees with
        marker data, including parametric linkage analysis, forensic
        computations, relatedness analysis and marker simulations. The
        core of the package is an implementation of the Elston-Stewart
        algorithm for pedigree likelihoods, extended to allow mutations
        as well as complex inbreeding. Features for linkage analysis
        include singlepoint LOD scores, power analysis, and multipoint
        analysis (the latter through a wrapper to the 'MERLIN'
        software). Forensic applications include exclusion
        probabilities, genotype distributions and conditional
        simulations. Data from the 'Familias' software can be imported
        and analysed in 'paramlink'. Finally, 'paramlink' offers many
        utility functions for creating, manipulating and plotting
        pedigrees with or without marker data (the actual plotting is
        done by the 'kinship2' package).
