A comparison of different strategies for computing confidence intervals of the linkage disequilibrium measure D'.

Abstract excerpt

Many linkage disequilibrium (LD) measures have been used to study LD patterns and for haplotype block partitioning. We examine the properties of one of these measures, Lewontin's D', in order to understand the dependency of its confidence interval (CI) to allele frequency and sample size as well as its applications in defining haplotype blocks. This measure and its CIs were used to partition haplotypes into...
