Assortative Mating Coefficient

The Assortative Mating Coefficient is a statistical metric that quantifies the degree to which individuals mate with others who are similar to themselves in specific phenotypic or genotypic traits, distinguishing it from general measures of genetic relatedness or random mating patterns by specifically indexing non-random mate pairing based on trait correlation.
