SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This is one of the first introductions to the sophisticated statistical methods that play a key role in research on human genetics. Topics include the estimation of allele frequencies, the testing for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, classical and complex segregation analysis, linkage analysis for Mendelian and complex diseases and quantitative traits, the detection of allelic associations, the estimation of heritability for multifactorial traits and path analysis.
