Individuals in natural populations vary in their genealogy and thus have different genome-wide diversity. Those having more or/and more recent common ancestors between their maternal and paternal ...

Identify characteristics of “good” estimators and be able to compare competing estimators. Construct sound estimators using the techniques of maximum likelihood and method of moments estimation.
