If a numerical variable can be assumed to be normally, but differently, distributed in each of two or more populations, then for an 'unknown' individual whose numerical value is known the relative probability of his belonging to each of the populations can be simply calculated. We briefly review the method and its application in genetic counselling.
如果一个数值变量在两个或更多总体中的每一个总体中都可假定为呈正态分布,但分布有所不同,那么对于一个数值已知的“未知”个体,其属于每个总体的相对概率可以简单地计算出来。我们简要回顾一下该方法及其在遗传咨询中的应用。
