IdentityByDescentDispersal.jl
IdentityByDescentDispersal.jl is a Julia package for estimating effective population densities and dispersal rates from observed spatial patterns of IBD shared blocks. It provides the building blocks for performing likelihood-based inference and integrates seamlessly with other statistical libraries in the Julia ecosystem, such as Turing.jl.
Installation
You can install this package by running:
import Pkg
Pkg.add("IdentityByDescentDispersal")Documentation
This website contains the documentation for IdentityByDescentDispersal.
The documentation is organised into several sections:
- Theory overview: An informal description of the theory behind the package, which covers the main concepts (e.g. dispersal rates, IBD blocks) and assumptions of the model.
- Basic usage: A comprehensive guide to the functions provided by the package, to be used both for inference and prediction.
- Inference and model evaluation: A complete inference example with simulated data and a set of recommendations for automated data processing (using a
Snakemakepipeline) and model evaluation. - API reference: A complete reference of the functions exported by the package.
