Testing for Hardy-Weinberg proportions: have we lost the plot?

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Waples Robin S

Abstract excerpt

Testing for Hardy-Weinberg proportions (HWP) is routine in almost all genetic studies of natural populations, but many researchers do not demonstrate a full understanding of the purposes of these tests or how to interpret the results. Common problems include a lack of understanding of statistical power and the difference between statistical significance and biological significance, how to interpret results of...
