  2. F-statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-statistics

    F IT is the inbreeding coefficient of an individual (I) relative to the total (T) population, as above; F IS is the inbreeding coefficient of an individual (I) relative to the subpopulation (S), using the above for subpopulations and averaging them; and F ST is the effect of subpopulations (S) compared to the total population (T), and is ...

  3. Selection coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_coefficient

    Selection coefficient, usually denoted by the letter s, is a measure used in population genetics to quantify the relative fitness of a genotype compared to other genotypes. . Selection coefficients are central to the quantitative description of evolution, since fitness differences determine the change in genotype frequencies attributable to selecti

  4. Coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient

    In mathematics, a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in some term of a polynomial, a series, or any expression. For example, in the polynomial 7 x 2 − 3 x y + 1.5 + y , {\displaystyle 7x^{2}-3xy+1.5+y,} with variables x {\displaystyle x} and y {\displaystyle y} , the first two terms have the coefficients 7 and −3.

  5. Basic reproduction number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_reproduction_number

    is the average number of people infected from one other person. For example, Ebola has an of two, so on average, a person who has Ebola will pass it on to two other people.. In epidemiology, the basic reproduction number, or basic reproductive number (sometimes called basic reproduction ratio or basic reproductive rate), denoted (pronounced R nought or R zero), [1] of an infection is the ...

  6. Biostatistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biostatistics

    Pearson correlation coefficient is a measure of association between two variables, X and Y. This coefficient, usually represented by ρ (rho) for the population and r for the sample, assumes values between −1 and 1, where ρ = 1 represents a perfect positive correlation, ρ = −1 represents a perfect negative correlation, and ρ = 0 is no ...

  7. Fixation index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_index

    Fst values between European populations. The fixation index (F ST) is a measure of population differentiation due to genetic structure.It is frequently estimated from genetic polymorphism data, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) or microsatellites.

  8. Heritability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability

    Since heritability is concerned with variance, it is necessarily an account of the differences between individuals in a population. Heritability can be univariate – examining a single trait – or multivariate – examining the genetic and environmental associations between multiple traits at once.

  9. Coefficient of coincidence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_coincidence

    If the individual recombination rates (between A and B; and between B and C) are known, then the c.o.c. between the regions AB and BC can be calculated from the rate of double recombination. In genetics, the coefficient of coincidence (c.o.c.) is a measure of interference in the formation of chromosomal crossovers during meiosis.
