This table presents the summary of average error rates when using a cut-off on resolution probability given by PHASE instead of Rmax when choosing the resolution obtained by each method. The 2 cut-offs chosen were respectively 50% and 70%. The error rate is almost always lower than with Rmax, but the number of assigned haplotypes strongly decreased.

IER: individual error rate, Abs IER: absolute IER, Rel IER: relative IER, Res Rate: resolution rate, MD: Missing Data.
