Abstract excerpt
We propose two diagnostics for the statistical assessment of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. One diagnostic is the posterior probability of the complement of the smallest highest posterior density credible region that includes points in the parameter space consistent with the hypothesis of equilibrium. The null hypothesis of equilibrium is to be rejected if this probability is less than a pre-selected critical level....
