Write A Program To Calculate Tajima Estimator In R Program

Tajima’s D is a statistical measure used to estimate the population growth rate from genetic data. Calculating Tajima’s D estimator in R is crucial for population geneticists and evolutionary biologists to understand the demographic history of populations.

1. Enter the number of samples in the ‘Number of Samples’ field.
2. Enter the mean Tajima’s D value in the ‘Mean Tajima’s D’ field.
3. Enter the standard deviation in the ‘Standard Deviation’ field.
4. Click the ‘Calculate’ button to see the results and chart.

Tajima’s D is calculated using the formula:

The calculator uses this formula to estimate Tajima’s D based on the input values.
