Abstract:In population genetics, it is very common to use statistical analysis to test the Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium in a given population. The classical method of approaching this problem is done through the chi-square test that often leads to the verification of the equilibrium hypothesis. In the present work, a Bayesian analysis was developed involving hypothesis testing, estimation and credibility intervals to test this balance. Data on M, MN and N blood groups from the MNS system were used on samples from… Show more
