Statistical approaches to paternity analysis in natural populations and applications to the North Atlantic humpback whale
We present a new method for paternity analysis in natural populations that is based on genotypic data that can take the sampling fi action of putative parents into account. The method allows paternity assignment to be performed in a decision theoretic framework. Simulations at e performed to evaluat...
