[Bioperl-l] Suggestion for Bio::PopGen::Statistics

[Jason Stajich]

sure -- as you say, the implementation presumed that it would be called more than 3 individuals to this method which is a shortcoming.  I have committed the code fix but still need someone to add a comment to the perldoc. I've made it a redmine bug.

Can you provide a test script and we'll add a test for this so

I would suggest either in the original code, do a checking before the calculation (and skip the current calculation when $n == 1, 2, or 3 - rather than let the whole program die), or add a few lines of notes in the CPAN page.
