For hybrid individuals genotyped with diagnostic markers (one allele fixed in each parental lineage), the ancestry index and interclass heterozygosity are calculated using closed form estimators using allele counts.
1 | HIC(G)
|
G |
Data matrix of individual genotypes (individuals in rows, markers in columns), coded as 0, 1, or 2 for the number of alleles inherited from parental lineage 1. |
Data must be coded as allele counts and markers must be assumed diagnostic. The MLE of the ancestry index is S=∑(x_i)/(2n), where x_i is the allele count for locus i. The MLE of interclass heterozygosity is simply the observed fraction of markers that are heterozygous.
A matrix with three named columns is returned.
S |
The ancestry index for each individual |
H |
The interclass heterozygosity for each individual |
logLik |
The log-likelihood of the joint estimate, given the data for each individual |
