Table 3 Expectation of elements involved in precision formulae when a uniform \( ( f ( p ) = 1 ) \) or a U shaped distribution of allelic frequencies is assumed \( \left( {f( p) = {k \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {k {2p\left( {1\text{ - }p} \right)}}} \right. \kern-0pt} {2p\left( {1-p} \right)}}} \right) \)
