An R package (https://www.r-project.org/) to perform inference in a mixture of discrete Laplace distributions using the EM algorithm.Intended for forensic Y chromosomal STR (Y-STR) haplotype analyses.

See documentation included in package (vignettes and manual) athttps://mikldk.github.io/disclapmix/.

You first needR (https://www.r-project.org/).Then you can installdisclapmix from CRAN using

install.packages("disclapmix")

You can also install the development version from GitHub by using theremotes package (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=remotes):

# install.packages("remotes")remotes::install_github("mikldk/disclapmix")

Refer to the included vignettes. You can get an overview of the included vignettes by the followingR command:

vignette(package="disclapmix")

To read a vignette, type:

vignette("introduction",package="disclapmix")

Note that to also install the tests, you need to install the package as follows:

# install.packages("remotes")remotes::install_github("mikldk/disclapmix",INSTALL_opts="--install-tests")

You can now run the tests:

library(disclapmix)library(testthat)test_package('disclapmix')
