When you want to:

Asymptotic

Report p-value calculated using the chi-square distribution.

Exact

Perform an exact test using the distribution of genotype counts conditioned on the allele counts (Wiggington, et al., 2005).

Permutation

Evaluate the significance of the chi-square statistic using Monte Carlo permutations of the alleles while holding the allele counts constant.

None

Suppresses output HWE plots.

Note: P-values are still computed and listed in the output data set.
