Formats

The linkage format for family data ...

The trio format that we use in this package is a reduced/restricted version of the linkage format consisting of three integer (numeric) values for each individual:

• id - the id of the individual,
• fid - the id of the father,
• mid - the id of the mother.

For the fid and mid variables a 0 or NA represents no information, and a person with nor information on father and mother id is considered a founder. For consistency, an individual should not have just a single parent missing.

Note that since we do not have a family indicator all id's should be uniques across all families.
