I am a behavioral ecologist particularly interested in kinship and reproduction within human families. I also did some consulting for data projects (R, SAS, SQL) and occasionally chime in on #rstats to applaud people for their magic. In 2019, I joined biometry at the Center for Clinical Trials of the Philipps-University Marburg supporting investigator initiated trials in clinical research. Feel free to browse my portfolio or come back later. And please do not hesitate to drop me a note or ask me on twitter.

This is an shinyapp demonstrating the functinality of my {kinlab} package for R for analyzing data from the Krummhörn family reconstitution study.
The historical population of the Krummhörn was highly stratified according to socioeconmic groups. While the socioeconomically privileged farmers do generally have a higher probability of having at least one grandchild documented within the stationary part of the population, this reproductive advantage seems to be further increased within consanguineous unions.
