## Calculate kinship coefficients

### Description

Calculate kinship coefficients from a pedigree.

### Usage

    kinship(ped, ids, all = TRUE, msg = TRUE)

### Arguments

`ped` | A pedigree, which a data frame (id, sire, dam, ...). If given, "generation" can be numeric 0, 1, 2, ... or non-numeric "F0", "F1", "F2", ... If "sex" is included, male should be "M", "Male" or 1, and female should be "F", "Female" or 2 (other than 0 and 1).

`all` | If false, sires and dams with no parents are treated as unknown.
`msg` | If false, messages are suppressed.

### Value

A matrix giving kinship coefficients.

### Examples
