Abstract excerpt
The century-old Hardy-Weinberg law remains fundamental to population genetics. Typically Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is tested in unrelated individuals using a chi(2) goodness-of-fit test that compares expected and observed numbers of heterozygotes and homozygotes. In this report, we propose a likelihood ratio test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium that accommodates a mixture of pedigree and random sample data. The...
