IAM distances

\( J_{X}=\frac{\sum ^{r}_{j}\sum ^{m_{j}}_{i}x^{2}_{ij}}{r} \) and \( J_{Y}=\frac{\sum ^{r}_{j}\sum ^{m_{j}}_{i}y^{2}_{ij}}{r} \)are the average homozygoties over loci in populations X and Y, respectively, and \( J_{XY}=\frac{\sum ^{r}_{j}\sum ^{m_{j}}_{i}x_{ij}y_{ij}}{r} \).

\( x_{ij} \) and \( y_{ij} \) are the frequencies of the ith allele at the jth locus in populations X and Y, respectively, \( m_{j} \) is the number of alleles at the jth locus, and r is the number of loci examined.
