Full Changelog: mispitoolsv1.2.0...v1.4.0

v1.2.0

Modifying plots; avoiding conflicting dependencies; improving documentation.

mispitools v1.1.0

Mispitools is updated to consider changes in pedtools and forrel packages.

Also, new functions for information theoretic computations are included.
Thanks @hordiienkoalina , @yikecheng020326 , @ozcanmiraay and @majeczzzka!

Release version

First Release version with background papers already published.

mispitoolsv0.4.0

New important features:

• LRage, LRsex and LRcol are new funciton for computing phenotype based likelihood ratios.
• CPT_MP and CPT_POP allows conditional probability tables computation for these new variables.
• condPlot serves for CPTs visualization.
• mispiApp() open a shiny app for selecting CPT_MP and CPT_POP parameters and plotting with condPlot function.

mispitoolsv0.3.0

Now compatible with forrel new version

mispitoolsv0.2.1

• Bugs fixes in the simLRprelim function.
• simLRprelim function now has the "closed" scenario for likelihood ratio simulations.

mispitoolsv0.2.0

New functions: makeMPprelim, simLRprelim and combLR.
Some functions name changed:

DTsim is now DeT
makePrelim is now makePOIprelim
LRsims is now simLRgen

mispitoolsv0.1.9

New functions:
- makePOIgen: it generates a STR database for POIs.
- getfreqs: it get STRs frequency from different countires and regions.
New data:
- STRs frequency tables from Argentina, China, Asia, USA, Bosnia Herzegovina and Japan.

mispitoolsv0.1.5

New functions for preliminary data simulations. Now specific functions for POIs prelim and for MPs prelim has been added.
