Data and utilities for estimating pediatric blood pressure
    percentiles by sex, age, and optionally height (stature) as described in
    Martin et.al. (2022) <doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2022.36918>.
    Blood pressure percentiles for children under one year of age come from Gemelli
    et.al. (1990) <doi:10.1007/BF02171556>.  Estimates of blood pressure
    percentiles for children at least one year of age are informed by
    data from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the
    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
    <doi:10.1542/peds.2009-2107C> or from Lo et.al. (2013)
    <doi:10.1542/peds.2012-1292>.  The flowchart for selecting the informing
    data source comes from Martin et.al. (2022)
    <doi:10.1542/hpeds.2021-005998>.

Reconstruct pedigrees from genotype data, by optimising the
    likelihood over all possible pedigrees subject to given restrictions.
    Tailor-made plots facilitate evaluation of the output. This package is
    part of the 'pedsuite' ecosystem for pedigree analysis. In
    particular, it imports 'pedprobr' for calculating pedigree likelihoods
    and 'forrel' for estimating pairwise relatedness.

Tools for exchanging pedigree data between the 'pedsuite'
    packages and the 'Familias' software for forensic kinship computations
    (Egeland et al. (2000) <doi:10.1016/s0379-0738(00)00147-x>). These
    functions were split out from the 'forrel' package to streamline
    maintenance and provide a lightweight alternative for packages otherwise
    independent of 'forrel'.

Gene-level variant association tests with disease status for pedigree data: kernel and burden association statistics.

Tools to sort, edit and prune pedigrees and to extract the inbreeding coefficients
    and the relationship matrix (includes code for pedigrees from self-pollinated species). 
    The use of pedigree data is central to genetics research within the animal and plant breeding communities to predict 
    breeding values. The relationship matrix between the individuals can be derived from pedigree structure 
    ('Vazquez et al., 2010') <doi:10.2527/jas.2009-1952>.
