Simple test for the Hardy-Weinberg law for HLA data with no observed double blanks.

Eguchi and Matsuura (1990, Biometrics 46, 415-426) noted that the generalized Stevens test statistic for the Hardy-Weinberg law for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) data yields an excessively large value when no double blanks are observed.
