## Simulates a Pedigree given a Log-Linear Model

### Description

Given a `PdataPed` object simulates a pedigree according to the linear model defined by `formula` and user specified parameter values for the given model.

### Usage

    simpedigree(PdP, beta=NULL, nUS=NULL, ...)

### Arguments

`PdP` | a `PdataPed` object
`beta` | parameter vector for the model defined by the `formula` argument in `PdataPed`
`nUS` | vector for the size of the unsampled population(s) defined in the `USdam` and `USsire` arguments passed to `PdataPed`. Parmeters for the unsampled female population come before the male population.
`...` | further arguments to be passed

### Value

`ped` | pedigree in 3 columns: id, dam, sire. Base individuals have NA as parents
`USsire.data` | binary vector indicating unsampled sire records (1)
`USsire.formula` | variable of the form `expression(varPed(...))` that can be included in the `formula` argument of `PdataPed` so that unobserved male records are effectively hidden
`USdam.data` | binary vector indicating unsampled dam records (1)
`USdam.formula` | variable of the form `expression(varPed(...))` that can be included in the `formula` argument of `PdataPed` so that unobserved male records are effectively hidden
