Correlations among LD statistics in unrelated CEPH individuals

D' Wn D' * Wn*
D' 1.000
Wn 0.919 1.000
D' * 0.586 0.480 1.000
Wn* 0.643 0.722 0.395 1.000

Wn The Wn statistic computed directly from the known haplotype frequencies, which is equivalent to Cramer's V computed on the 2×2 table for the haplotype data.

D' The D' statistic computed directly from the known haplotype frequencies.

Wn* Cramer's V computed on the 2×2 table created from the genotype (presence/absence) data.

D' * Dprime computed on the 2×2 table created from the genotype (presence/absence) data.

The absolute value of Cramer's V was used to reflect the (0, 1) range for the D' statistics.
