Abstract
SUMMARY: The history of the statistical estimation of linkage is traced from its beginnings in 1912 to its coming‐of‐age in 1928, with special reference to the forgotten contribution of G. U. Yule and F. L. Engledow in 1914 introducing the method of minimum χ2 as the first efficient procedure.This publication has 43 references indexed in Scilit:
