ibdfindr: HMM Toolkit for Inferring IBD Segments from SNP Genotypes

Implements continuous-time hidden Markov models (HMMs) to infer identity-by-descent (IBD) segments shared by two individuals from their single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes. Provides posterior probabilities at each marker (forward-backward algorithm), prediction of IBD segments (Viterbi algorithm), and functions for visualising results. Supports both autosomal data and X-chromosomal data.
