title: 'Ritable: Pedigree-Based Heritability Estimation for Family Cohort Studies'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Provides profile-likelihood variance-components estimation of narrow-sense
  heritability (h2) for quantitative traits in family cohort studies. Additive genetic
  relationship matrices are built from pedigrees via 'kinship2'. Phenotypes are inverse-normal
  transformed internally. Likelihood-ratio tests use a one-sided chi-squared boundary
  correction equivalent to SOLAR Eclipse. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals
  are derived from the profile likelihood rather than Wald approximations. Batch estimation
  over many traits returns tidy data frames ready for downstream visualisation (forest
  plots, heatmaps).
