Abstract
While nonrandom associations between zygotes at different loci (zygotic associations) frequently occur in Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium populations, statistical analysis of such associations has received little attention. In this article, we describe the joint distributions of zygotes at multiple loci, which are completely characterized by heterozygosities at individual loci and various multilocus zygotic associations. These zygotic associations are defined in the same fashion as the usual multilocus linkage (gametic) disequilibria on the basis of gametic and allelic frequencies. The estimation and test procedures are described with details being given for three loci. The sampling properties of the estimates are examined through Monte Carlo simulation. The estimates of three-locus associations are not free of bias due to the presence of two-locus associations and vice versa. The power of detecting the zygotic associations is small unless different loci are strongly associated and/or sample sizes are large (>100). The analysis of zygotic associations not only offers an effective means of packaging numerous genic disequilibria required for a complete characterization of multilocus structure, but also provides opportunities for making inference about evolutionary and demographic processes through a comparative assessment of zygotic association vs. gametic disequilibrium for the same set of loci in nonequilibrium populations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
