Purpose

This package is an Rcpp wrapper for the hmmibd software. Currently, there are several c and python scripts (within the hmmibd software) required to convert files from VCF format to a text format that can then be used by either hmmibd or hmmibdr to perform further analysis. However, these scripts require the user to run c and python code; these are the same requirements as those for performing analysis using only the hmmibd software . Therefore, we recommend the use of the hmmibd software directly for the entire analysis.

Please refer to the hmmibd tutorial for a complete demonstration of the tool.
