Instead of iterative methods for finding a root of the cubic equation for one of the gametic frequencies (Hill, 1974), it is recommended that the cubic be solved completely. For data with some missing genotypic classes, it is further recommended that explicit solutions for the cubic be used.}, number={FEB}, journal={HEREDITY}, author={WEIR, BS and COCKERHAM, CC}, year={1979}, pages={105–111} }
