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 each of three types of triplets and five types of quadruplets and to predict the distributions of the sums of squares in...
