relMix 1.4

CRAN release: 2024-04-23

Changes in v. 1.4

New features

  • Custom pedigree files in relMixGUI must be specified by text files in ped format instead of R scripts

  • relMixGUI now also accept non-numeric allele names

    • The exception is if mutation model “stepwise” is used

  • An improved report file that includes

    • Allele frequencies used in the LR calculations
    • Plots of pedigrees used under each hypothesis
    • And is saved as a word file rather than a txt file
Major changes in v. 1.3
  • Input files in relMixGUI are now being checked for most common errors, such as:
    • Incorrect table structure
    • Incorrect headers
    • Typos in marker and sample names
    • Non-numeric allele frequencies
    • Duplicate markers
  • Four new functions, incorporated in relMixGUI, provide the input check:
    • checkFrequenciesFile()
    • checkMixtureFile()
    • checkReferenceFile()
    • checkPedigreeFile()
Minor changes in v. 1.3.1

Package has been updated to use gWidgets2 and gWidgets2tcltk instead of gWidgets and gWidgetstcltk because the latter are being removed from CRAN.

Minor changes in v. 1.3.2
  • Replace deprecated argument initialFilename with updated name initial.filename in call to gWidgets2::gfile function.
  • Fix a bug where database alleles were being all set to NA.
  • Avoid saving loaded profiles when an error occurs in f_importprof.
  • Fix an issue where if an allele was repeated in the mixture file, but not present in the database file, it would get added twice causing an error when Familias is called.
Minor changes in v. 1.3.3
  • Make tkrplot a suggests dependency so that users which cannot install it can still use the non-plotting functionality of relMix. Now, if tkrplot is not available, the pedigrees will not be plotted in the results screen and instead a message explaining the problem will be shown.
Minor changes in v. 1.3.4
  • The dependency Familias is no longer available on CRAN and is installed from GitHub instead. Due to this, relMix is also no longer available on CRAN.
