Linkage disequilibrium - equivalence of the correlation and probability approaches
Amongst measures of linkage disequilibrium, the correlation measure r2, due originally to Sewall Wright, has several advantages. Although basically a haploid statistic, it can readily be estimated using covariance and correlation from diploid data. Its population expectation can also be found from probability methods. We show that the probability of linked identity by descent, LIBD, directly…
