Abstract
In genetical work it is often desirable to apply Pearson''s x2 test of agreement between observation and theory to groups of families containing so few members that the original test is inapplicable. The first 4 moments are calculated in a number of such cases, and the method of application is explained.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
