The set of relationships to be considered by relative finder is described in a pair of merlin format data and pedigree files. Here is what they might looi like:
The set of relationships to be considered by RelativeFinder can be specified in a pair of merlin format data and pedigree files. Names for these files can be specified with the '''-t''' (for the data file) and '''-q''' (for the pedigree file) command line options. Within this pedigree, each family should describe one potential relationship. The placement of the individuals within the test pedigree should be labeled with the words "TEST1" and "TEST2".
If these files are not available, RelativeFinder will consider a basic set of relationships for each pair of individuals (siblings, half-siblings, identical twins, parent-offspring pairs, unrelated individuals, or an avuncular relationship).
Here files specifying relationships to be considered might look like:
'''Example of testCases.dat file'''
'''Example of testCases.dat file'''

In this case, the pedigree describes 6 alternate relationships (identical twins, siblings, half-siblings, avuncular pairs, parent-offspring pairs and unrelated individuals). In each putative relationship, the placement of the individuals being evaluated is indicated by the TEST1 and TEST2 tags.
In the example above, the pedigree describes 6 alternate relationships that match the default relationships considered by RelativeFinder(identical twins, siblings, half-siblings, avuncular pairs, parent-offspring pairs and unrelated individuals). Note that, for each putative relationship, the placement of the individuals being evaluated is indicated by the TEST1 and TEST2 tags.
