title: On the determination of relative fitness from frequencies of genotypes in subsequent generations : Part II. Statistical problems in estimation of fitnesses.
abstract: In part I of this paper (Theoret. Appl. Genetics 40, p. 11-17) an algebraic treatment of reproduction and selection processes in populations of diploids was given. Here the statistical properties of a special fitness estimator, which is due to Hayman, are considered. Confidence intervals and tests of significance concerning hypotheses about fitnesses are established and checked by computer simulation studies in part III.
