We introduce two Bayesian diagnostics for assessing Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. These methods provide statistical measures analogous to classical error probabilities, enhancing hypothesis testing in genetics.

Area of Science:

  • Population genetics
  • Statistical genetics
  • Bayesian inference

Background:

  • Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a fundamental principle in population genetics.
  • Assessing statistical significance for this equilibrium is crucial for genetic studies.
  • Existing methods may have limitations in applicability or interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose novel Bayesian diagnostics for evaluating Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
  • To provide statistical tools that are broadly applicable across various distributions and sample sizes.
  • To offer analogues to classical Type I and Type II error probabilities within a Bayesian framework.

Main Methods:

  • Development of two distinct Bayesian diagnostics.
  • Diagnostic 1: Posterior probability of the complement of the smallest highest posterior density credible region.

  • Diagnostic 2: Proportion of parameter space within the highest posterior density credible region.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed diagnostics offer a robust statistical assessment of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
    • These methods are computationally feasible for any hypothesis test.
    • They provide interpretable measures analogous to classical error rates.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel Bayesian diagnostics enhance the statistical assessment of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
    • Their broad applicability makes them valuable tools for genetic research.
    • These methods offer a powerful alternative for hypothesis testing in statistical genetics.
