my $stats = new Bio::PopGen::Statistics();
my $individuals = [ $tree->get_leaf_nodes];
my $pi = $stats->pi($individuals);

# Alternatively to do this on input data from
# See the tests in t/PopGen.t for more examples
my $parser = new Bio::PopGen::IO(-format => 'prettybase',
                                 -file   => 't/data/popstats.prettybase');
my $pop = $parser->next_population;
# Note that you can also call the stats as a class method if you like
# the only reason to instantiate it (as above) is if you want
# to set the verbosity for debugging

# Pi and Theta also take additional arguments,
# see the documentation for more information

my $aln = $in->next_aln;
# get a population, each sequence is an individual and 
# for the default case, every site which is not monomorphic
# is a 'marker'.  Each individual will have a 'genotype' for the
# site which will be the specific base in the alignment at that
# site

DESCRIPTION

This object is intended to provide implementations some standard population genetics statistics about alleles in populations.

This module was previously named Bio::Tree::Statistics.

This object is a place to accumulate routines for calculating various statistics from the coalescent simulation, marker/allele, or from aligned sequence data given that you can calculate alleles, number of segregating sites.

Currently implemented: Fu and Li's D (fu_and_li_D) Fu and Li's D* (fu_and_li_D_star) Fu and Li's F (fu_and_li_F) Fu and Li's F* (fu_and_li_F_star) Tajima's D (tajima_D) Watterson's theta (theta) pi (pi) - number of pairwise differences composite_LD (composite_LD)

Count based methods also exist in case you have already calculated the key statistics (seg sites, num individuals, etc) and just want to compute the statistic.

In all cases where a the method expects an arrayref of Bio::PopGen::IndividualI objects and Bio::PopGen::PopulationI object will also work.
