Heritability added incorrectly #13

@RossDeVito

Description

@RossDeVito

In the paper and implementation you add noise to the genetic component of the phenotype to reach a desired heritability using:

g' = h * g + sqrt(1-h^2) N(0, 1), where h = heritability

There may have been confusion due to heritability typically being written as h^2, but the correct equation should be:

g' = sqrt(h^2) * g + sqrt(1-h^2) N(0, 1), where h^2 = heritability

or

g' = sqrt(h) * g + sqrt(1-h) N(0, 1), where h = heritability
