Rank-invariant estimation of inbreeding coefficients. [PDF]
, 2022 The two alleles an individual carries at a locus are identical by descent (ibd) if they have descended from a single ancestral allele in a reference population, and the probability of such identity is the inbreeding coefficient of the individual ...
