Quantitative variation in sets of triplets and quadruplets: a simulation.

Human biology - 1 Apr 1995

Allen G

Abstract excerpt

A computer simulation was devised to generate realistic but large samples of twins, triplets, and quadruplets in each of the possible zygosity types. To validate the simulation, I used formulas proposed by Richter and Geisser (1960) to predict the mean value of the sum of squared deviations in ea...
