Abstract: In this paper, we describe various tests used to determine deviations from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The tests described are: the exact test, the χ2 test with and without continuity correction, the conditional χ2 test with and without continuity correction and the likelihood ratio test. These tests explore the question whether a random sample has trinomic distribution with probabilities pAA = θ2 , pAa = 2θ(1 − θ), paa = (1 − θ)2 . In this work, we simulate data of sample size 100 and we estimate the probability of type I error and the power of the tests. In this case, we get the best results with conditional χ2 test. The estimate of the power of the likelihood ratio test and the χ2 test is one of the highest of all. On the other hand, these two test are anticonservative in some cases . 1
