The great expansion of population genetic data using molecular techniques now allows examination of the extent of linkage disequilibrium for many pairs of loci, each locus often with multiple alleles.

Relatedness between individuals is central to ecological genetics. Multiple methods are available to quantify relatedness from molecular data, including method-of-moment and maximum-likelihood ...

The three-factor analysis displayed in Output 26.3.3 generates this message: WARNING: Too many factors for a unique solution. The number of parameters in the model exceeds the number of elements in ...

The likelihood equation for a logistic regression model does not always have a finite solution. Sometimes there is a nonunique maximum on the boundary of the parameter space, at infinity. The ...

The fitness of plants or animals within a population is largely determined by the number of offspring they produce. In natural populations lacking familial structure either one or both parents are ...
