Independence tests for VNTR alleles defined as quantile bins.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Nov 1993

Weir B S

Abstract excerpt

VNTR fragment lengths in three databases maintained by the FBI for forensic purposes were partitioned into quantile bins, and tests for independence of the two bins at each of six loci were conducted. Whether independence was declared depended on the number of quantiles used. For a large number of quantile bins, equal to the number of fixed bins used by the FBI, 10 of 18 likelihood-ratio tests showed significant...
