Bias correction for segregation ratio estimation in human genetics.

Abstract excerpt

Segregation ratio estimation has long been important in human genetics. A simple truncated binomial model is considered that assumes complete ascertainment and a deterministic genotype-phenotype relationship. A simple but intuitively appealing estimator of the segregation ratio, previously proposed, is shown to have a negative bias. It is also shown that the bias of this estimator can be largely reduced via a...
