Summary of Test Statistics Compared in This Article

Test Statistic	Description
Ts	Studies each marker separately
Td	Discards ambiguous families
Th	Assumes that haplotype information is known
Tu	Estimates haplotype frequencies only by use of unambiguous families
Tc	Estimates haplotype frequencies by use of both unambiguous families and ambiguous families, by assigning each compatible haplotype group equal probability for each ambiguous family
Tml	Estimates haplotype frequencies by assuming that parents are a random sample of individuals from a population with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
