β¦ Synopsis
The statistical properties of one estimetpr of absolute genetic distance (1/2) 2 I pzf-prf(, between two populations X and Y, are presented. It is shown that using this distance in small samples can be misleading particularly when populations are cloee Weach other. k i -i K e y w d a : Absolute genetic distance; Estimation of genetic distance; Bias of distance estimation.

We present a Monte-Carlo simulation analysis of the statistical properties of absolute genetic distance and of Nei's minimum ahd standard genetic distances. The estimation of distances (bias) and of their variances is analysed as well aa the distributions of distance and variance estimators, taking
## Abstract Distance functions serve for quantitative evaluation of the degree of similarity, shape content, symmetry, chirality, and so on. We have developed a general methodology and a general computational tool for the estimation of the value of the distance function and of the error in that est
