Properties of Weir and Cockerham's Fst estimators and associated bootstrap confidence intervals.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Jan 2000

Leviyang Sivan, Hamilton Matthew B

Abstract excerpt

Weir and Cockerham introduced single locus and multiloci F(st) estimators for the parameter θ. These estimators are commonly used, but little beyond their bias and variance is known. In this work, we develop formulas that allow us to describe how the underlying value of θ and the genetic diversit...
