An Exact Test for Population Differentiation

An Exact Test for Population Differentiation

Population differentiation is usually evaluated in computing various statistics from allelic frequencies in each sample and applying a statistical test to tentatively reject the null hypothesis Ho. An alternative way of testing population differentiation is presented that is based on an exact nonpar...

Zusammenfassung:Population differentiation is usually evaluated in computing various statistics from allelic frequencies in each sample and applying a statistical test to tentatively reject the null hypothesis Ho. An alternative way of testing population differentiation is presented that is based on an exact nonparametric procedure.
