Bayesian methods for examining Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Abstract excerpt

Testing for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is ubiquitous and has traditionally been carried out via frequentist approaches. However, the discreteness of the sample space means that uniformity of p-values under the null cannot be assumed, with enumeration of all possible counts, conditional on the minor allele count, offering a computationally expensive way of p-value calibration. In addition, the interpretation of...
