A model for assortative mating. 1976

A E Stark

It is shown that a generalization of the Hardy-Weinberg law of the proportions of genotypes of the kind given by Wright (1922) is maintained in equilibrium by a pattern of assortative mating suggested by Fisher (1918) and elaborated by Malécot (1939, 1948).
