Abstract excerpt
The distribution of the number of pairwise differences calculated from comparisons between n haploid genomes has frequently been used as a starting point for testing the hypothesis of linkage equilibrium. For this purpose the variance of the pairwise differences, VD, is used as a test statistic to evaluate the null hypothesis that all loci are in linkage equilibrium. The problem is to determine the critical value...
