Legofit

Legofit is a software package that estimates population history parameters using genetic data. It addresses biases and identifiability issues present in other statistical methods by simultaneously estimating parameters related to admixture, ancestral population sizes, and their separation times.

Key features of Legofit include:

1. Data manipulation: It provides tools to process and prepare genetic data for analysis.

2. Parameter estimation: Legofit can simultaneously estimate parameters describing admixture events, population sizes, and the timing of population splits.

3. Residual analysis: The software allows users to examine residuals to assess the model's fit to the data.

4. Model selection and averaging: Legofit incorporates methods for comparing different models and combining results from multiple models, essential for dealing with statistical identifiability issues.
