M.7—Hardy-Weinberg, Lincoln index and Simpson diversity

Hardy–Weinberg estimates allele/genotype frequencies, Lincoln estimates a mobile population and Simpson’s index summarises diversity.

Define each symbol from the data, substitute consistently and interpret the result in the biological context.

A recapture estimate becomes unstable when the number marked in the second sample is very small.

A formula output is only as reliable as the assumptions behind sampling and the data collection.
