Overdispersion in allelic counts and θ-correction in forensic genetics.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Nov 2010

Tvedebrink Torben

Abstract excerpt

We present a statistical model for incorporating the extra variability in allelic counts due to subpopulation structures. In forensic genetics, this effect is modelled by the identical-by-descent parameter θ, which measures the relationship between pairs of alleles within a population relative to the relationship of alleles between populations (Weir, 2007). In our statistical approach, we demonstrate that θ may...
