Identify Efficient Crossing Schemes for Gene Pyramiding

Calculates the cost of crossing in terms of the number of individuals and generations, which is theoretically formulated by Servin et al. (2004) . This package has been designed for selecting appropriate parental genotypes and find the most efficient crossing scheme for gene pyramiding, especially for plant breeding.
