Haplotype Frequency
Compute haplotype frequency as haplotype count divided by two times the total number of individuals.
Description
Compute haplotype frequency as haplotype count divided by two times the total number of individuals.
Haplotype Frequency is a focused biology tool that compute haplotype frequency as haplotype count divided by two times the total number of individuals. It calculates locally from the values you enter and exposes the result without changing the source observations.1
When to use Haplotype Frequency
Use Haplotype Frequency when you need to compute haplotype frequency as haplotype count divided by two times the total number of individuals. Enter Haplotype count and Total individuals using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.
- Haplotype count
- An integer count or setting greater than or equal to 0.
- Total individuals
- An integer count or setting greater than or equal to 1.
How Haplotype Frequency calculates the result
The published tool contract uses this rule: Compute haplotype frequency as haplotype count divided by two times the total number of individuals.
- Haplotype frequency
- The calculated haplotype frequency.
Limitations of Haplotype Frequency
A ratio or percentage can conceal the scale of its numerator and denominator and becomes sensitive to measurement error when the denominator is small.
Alternative or Complementary measurements
Retain the original Haplotype count and Total individuals values and their units alongside the result. Allele Freq From Counts is useful when you instead need to compute allele A frequency p = (2*AA + AB) / (2*(AA + AB + BB)) from genotype counts. Allele Frequency p provides another view by helping you estimate dominant allele frequency p from genotype counts using p = (2*AA + Aa) / (2*total).
