I started a page on Fst without realizing that this page about F-statistic existed.

I discovered this one and do not know if I should erase my page or not. However, I go in a different direction and it would take a lot of editing to fit what I want to say into this page. Any recommendation about what I should do?

[edit] Incorrect Definition

This is not the correct definition of F. It should be

F = \frac{\operatorname{E}{(f(\mathbf{Aa}))} - \operatorname{O}(f(\mathbf{Aa}))} {\operatorname{E}(f(\mathbf{Aa}))}\!

I haven't checked the entire article, but the mistake may very well be carried through. I'll check and fix it when I get some time. Ted 22:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Mostly done. I haven't checked the section FST. I don't use that definition. Ted 18:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
