Extract

The utility of the moments of the binomial distribution in finding the n-stage transition probabilities was indicated by Khazanie and McKean (1966). In this paper, maintaining the same breeding structure as in the two-allele case, it is proposed to extend the technique to cover the multiallelic case in general, with specific emphasis on the triallelic case. The existing literature on the multiple allelic case is at best scanty (see for example Kimura (1955)). Section 6 will briefly touch on a further extension to multiple loci which segregate independently.
