Estimation of Jacquard's Genetic Identity Coefficients

Contains procedures to estimate the nine condensed Jacquard genetic identity coefficients (Jacquard, 1974) by constrained least squares (Graffelman et al., 2024) and by the method of moments (Csuros, 2014) . These procedures require previous estimation of the allele frequencies. Functions are supplied that estimate relationship parameters that derive from the Jacquard coefficients, such as individual inbreeding coefficients and kinship coefficients.
