Likelihood-based inference for genetic correlation coefficients.

Abstract excerpt

We review Wright's original definitions of the genetic correlation coefficients F(ST), F(IT), and F(IS), pointing out ambiguities and the difficulties that these have generated. We also briefly survey some subsequent approaches to defining and estimating the coefficients. We then propose a general framework in which the coefficients are defined, their properties established, and likelihood-based inference...
