castgen: Estimate Sample Size for Population Genomic Studies

Estimate sample sizes needed to capture target levels of genetic diversity from a population (multivariate allele frequencies) for applications like germplasm conservation and breeding efforts. Compares bootstrap samples to a full population using linear regression, employing the R-squared value to represent the proportion of diversity captured. Iteratively increases sample size until a user-defined target R-squared is met. Offers a parallelized R implementation of a previously developed 'python' method. All ploidy levels are supported. For more details, see Sandercock et al. (2024) <doi:10.1073/pnas.2403505121>.
