Abstract excerpt
This study compares theoretical and simulated properties of two estimators of fixation indices F(ST) for multiallelic data from a single locus. The estimators are due to Weir and Cockerham (straight theta(WC)) and to Robertson and Hill (;straight theta(RH)), respectively. Both estimators are linear combinations of biallelic estimators which differ in the way frequent and rare alleles are weighted. Consequently,...
