Performance of the four computational methods in haplotype identification, as measured by the I_H index.

	Hapar	PL-EM	Haplotyper	PHASE
258 Spanish [45]	0.933 (1)	0.933 (1)	0.933 (1)	0.933 (1)
137 Nicaraguans [30]	0.952 (1)	0.952 (1)	0.909 (2)	0.952 (1)
112 UK Caucasians [24]	1	1	1	1
101 Black South Africans [24]	0.917 (2)	0.917 (2)	0.917 (2)	1
1000 Koreans [31]	- *	1	1	1

Numbers in brackets indicate the number of haplotypes for which an error of prediction was made. * The size of the Korean sample was too large to be correctly handled by the Hapar program.
