theta correction
A method for calculating match probabilities, first described by Balding and Nichols (1994), to allow for population structure in the population for which a frequency database is constructed. It allows match probabilities for subpopulations to be calculated from whole population allele frequencies. It avoids the need to assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at the whole-population level.
