An allele is an alternate form of a gene, and the proportion of alleles in a population is of interest in genetics. An article in BMC Genetics [“Calculating Expected DNA Remnants From Ancient Founding Events in Human Population Genetics” (2008, Vol. 9:66)] used a beta distribution with mean 0.3 and standard deviation 0.17 to model initial allele proportions in a genetic simulation. Determine the parameters α and β for this beta distribution.
