<i>F</i> <sub> <i>ST</i> </sub> and the Triangle Inequality for Biallelic Markers

2019-03-05

Abstract excerpt

The population differentiation statistic F ST , introduced by Sewall Wright, is often treated as a pairwise distance measure between populations. As was known to Wright, however, F ST is not a true metric because allele frequencies exist for which it does not satisfy the triangle inequality. We prove that a stronger result holds: for biallelic markers whose allele frequencies differ across three populations, F...
