KINSIMU 0.1.2

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
• A new argument “Th” has been added to EvaluatePanel() function, meaning the threshold identifying markers with frequency sum differ significantly from 1 (those with data errors).
• Fixed several bugs in IICAL(), trioPI() and LRgpgcam() functions;
• Added a pdf file containing the instruction of functions in this package as a vignette file;
• Updated the examples to make them more visible.

KIMSIMU 0.1.2-2

• Added a new citation information

KINSIMU 0.1.3

• Addressed several issues and improved the accuracy of statistical calculations within the package.
• –EvaluatePanel(): Corrected the calculation of Het_adjusted (adjusted heterozygosity) to use the standard unbiased estimator formula based on the number of individuals (n_of_indi) rather than the number of alleles. This enhances the accuracy of this population genetics parameter.
• –pedsimu(): Fixed a serious bug that would result in incorrect data being passed under the assumption of a maternal mutation
• –IICAL(), LRpara(), LRhsip(), LRgpgcam(), logLR():
• –Adjusted default value for rare parameter: The default value of the rare parameter has been changed from NULL to 0.0001. This provides a more practical default for handling rare alleles without requiring explicit user input in many common scenarios.
• –Added input validation for numeric allele positions when allelename = FALSE: When the allelename argument is set to FALSE, the function now includes a check to ensure that the provided allele data are of a numeric type, representing allele positions. If the input is not numeric, a clear suggestion is provided to enter allele positions.

KINSIMU 0.1.3-2

• Due to a time-constrained requirement to remove the tabu LaTeX package dependency, the vignette has been temporarily simplified. A full restoration with all functions, algorithms and examples will be submitted in the next release (within 1 to 2 months).
