| Abstract: | The use in the literature of statistics and measures derived for the measurement and the analysis of inbreeding from data on gene frequency diversity and applied to data on surname diversity is discussed. To overcome the difficulties encountered with this approach, a simple mathematical model for analysing isonymy data is proposed. Finally some further measures of surname diversity are given based on measures developed for gene diversity analysis and for community diversity analysis in ecology. |
