Function update

Update log

• Now allow plink file format
• Allow user to specify which samples to keep

Modernization of Script

Update Log

• Replace random number generator with C++11 random library

Fix edge case

Update log

• Previous version cannot handle cases where two individual are tie with the number of related samples
• When tie is observed, we will do the following
  • If sample phenotype is provided, always remove sample with lower phenotype (i.e. if sample A has phenotype of 0.1 and sample B has phenotype of 0.2, we will remove sample A)
  • if no phenotype is provided, we will remove samples randomly.
  • You can reproduce the same results by specifying the --seed option

Speed up

Update on Algorithm

We try to localise all the sort operation, thus increase the speed drastically
