the binomial coefficients are the positive integers that occur as coefficients in the binomial theorem. Commonly, a binomial coefficient is indexed by...

The coefficient of relationship is a measure of the degree of consanguinity (or biological relationship) between two individuals. The term coefficient of...

In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R2 or r2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable...

characterized by a selection coefficient, which measures the expected change in an allele's frequency over time. The selection coefficient can either be negative...

at an intermediate frequency, is largely determined by selection if the selection coefficient s ≫ 1/N, and largely determined by neutral genetic drift...

In probability theory and statistics, the coefficient of variation (CV), also known as normalized root-mean-square deviation (NRMSD), percent RMS, and...

Whether a gene will ultimately be lost or fixed is dependent on selection coefficients and chance fluctuations in allelic proportions. Fixation can refer...

A correlation coefficient is a numerical measure of some type of linear correlation, meaning a statistical relationship between two variables. The variables...

Slightly deleterious mutations are reliably purged only when their selection coefficient are greater than one divided by the effective population size. In...

In statistics, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient or Spearman's ρ is a number ranging from -1 to 1 that indicates how strongly two sets of ranks...
