Statistics in Human Genetics

Rigorous statistical analysis methods for human genetics application

Statistics in Human Genetics explores the statistical analysis methods that are critical to good science. Beginning with a brief review of genes, gene structure, variation, and terminology, the book moves into analysis of segregation, genetic linkage, allelic associations, and continuity for a wide range of conditions. From the classic Hardy–Weinberg equation to advanced modeling, algorithms and more, this book provides authoritative guidance toward methods, analysis, and applications for anyone performing quantitative analysis of human genetics.
