The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors. When mating ...

The X chromosome is a relatively large chromosome, harboring a lot of genetic information. Much of the statistical analysis of X-chromosomal information is complicated by the fact that males only have ...

In this work, we discuss several population genetics models and investigate their limiting behavior using Markov chains. In the classical Hardy-Weinberg model, gene frequencies are constant over time, ...

Biometrics, Vol. 51, No. 1 (Mar., 1995), pp. 354-357 (4 pages) Eguchi and Matsuura (1990, Biometrics 46, 415-426) noted that the generalized Stevens test statistic for the Hardy-Weinberg law for human ...
