distances
and variance
, respectively (if variance =
TRUE
).In the case of the pairwise method, the distance $d$ between two individuals is the number of loci for which they differ, and the associated variance is $d(L - d)/L$, where $L$ is the number of loci.
In the case of the percentage method, this distance is divided by $L$, and the associated variance is $d(1 - d)/L$.
