Validates and Optionally Repairs Unique IDs in a Pedigree Dataframe

This function takes a pedigree object and performs two main tasks: 1. Checks for the uniqueness of individual IDs. 2. Optionally repairs non-unique IDs based on a specified logic.

Usage

checkIDs(ped, verbose = FALSE, repair = FALSE)

Arguments

ped

A dataframe representing the pedigree data with columns `ID`, `dadID`, and `momID`.

verbose

A logical flag indicating whether to print progress and validation messages to the console.

repair

A logical flag indicating whether to attempt repairs on non-unique IDs.

Value

Depending on `repair` value, either returns a list containing validation results or a repaired dataframe

Examples

if (FALSE) {
ped <- data.frame(ID = c(1, 2, 2, 3), dadID = c(NA, 1, 1, 2), momID = c(NA, NA, 2, 2))
checkIDs(ped, verbose = TRUE, repair = FALSE)
}
