Figure 10

Box-and-Whisker plot of estimates of mean ancestry contribution for ASW population with 100 random subsets of 20 SNPs from panels consisting of top 1%, 2%, 5%, and 10% of the AIMs. From left to right different colors indicate results for Delta, FST, FIC, SIC, and In. The last two sets of the plot (yellow and gray) are the results where markers were ranked by the average rank (AVE) or minimum rank (MIN) of all five measures. The dashed line indicates 78%, which was estimated by a collection of 3299 AIMs for CEU and YRI population from HapMap phase III data. All of the 3299 markers were selected as top 10% AIMs by at least one of the five measures. For each method (color), the four Box-and-Whisker plots from left to right represent analysis results based on AIM panels consisting of top 1%, 2%, 5%, and 10% of the AIMs. See Additional File 10, Table S4 for summary statistics of estimation errors.
